Some interesting numbers from, of all places, Faux News:
Revenue collected from IRS examinations fell 35%, from about $10 billion in fiscal 2024 to $6.5 billion in fiscal 2025, as the agency was undergoing steep workforce reductions that ultimately cut examination and collection staffing by nearly 10,000 employees, according to a Treasury watchdog.
GAO found that agencies spent about $6.7 billion paying employees who took part in the Deferred Resignation Program, which allowed many of them to stop working while still collecting a paycheck until they officially left government. The Partnership for Public Service also estimated the government spent $12.1 million rehiring workers who had previously been fired during the administration’s workforce reductions.
Despite the cuts, most of which happened during the president’s first year in office, the Trump administration spent 3% more on federal salaries during its first year in power than the Biden administration did during its initial year.And let’s not forget that Trump is cutting IRS auditors while nearly 1,000 millionaires are not filing taxes who owe an estimated $34 billion in taxes.
After all, only the little people pay taxes.
A few billion here, a few billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.
The man is playing 17D chess.
