What is one of the first things that Republicans do when they take over the House? They shaft the taxpayers and increase the budget deficit by $114 billion a year. By seeking to roll back the 87,000 additional personnel for the IRS, which is intended to replace a 20 percent reduction in head count in anticipated retirements, they guarantee that taxpayers will have to wait weeks for their phone calls to the IRS to be returned. They guarantee that the budget deficit will be increased by $114 billion for lack of audits of tax-avoiding multimillionaires. Shaft the taxpayers and increase the budget deficit by $114 billion. Great work, GOP. ____________________
