Can the House do this on its own or does it have to pass Dingy Harry?
They'll apologize tomorrow.
Lernin the right way. Now they are all Lerners.
Has this “massive cut” been passed by teh Senate and signed by the President?
When that happens, get back to us.
They’ll pass this with one hand, then put 99% of it back with the other hand under the table.
Can we expect the GOP to carry this out?
Or will the GOPe intervene to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
Its not exactly gutting but is a good start.
This is funding. I don’t believe it needs the senate or president.
Put it in the ICE budget..................
I’ll believe it when it really happens but it is still $4billion too high and that would be just a good start on all the agencies.
How about a little EPA, HUD, USDA, FDA, DOE action?
The pessimist agrees with you, and says that when they cut the other 20 Billion or so that funds the rest of the IRS, we'll be in business.
It has grown bloated and it’s overreach knows no bounds, which is why it not only should be subject to these budget cuts, but it should be abolished altogether.
Indeed. NRST excise solves it.
All bills must be signed by both houses and the president. Spending bills must originate in the house... [at least that's the constitution - i think there's at least one lawsuit now at federal level challenging 0care on those grounds.]
If the last six yrs is a predictor, Harry Reid's Senate will not take up the bill - they will call for a "clean budget" that funds everything or they'll shut down the gov't again - and blame repubs again.
Let's hope we can take the Senate - that would be a political game-changer wrt budget bills. 0bama would have to veto them... that would obviously make it harder to blame repubs.
It is my understanding that Dirty Harry and the Senate have to approve these cuts. I could be wrong.
Flat tax, fair tax, no,income tax, whatever will work, let’s defund the entire IRS. Send tax to treasury.
I’m unimpressed.
Let them reduce IRS funding to the salaries of 1000 staffers, with NO ARMED ENFORCEMENT personnel.
Possible translation ...
New IRS budget increase 4 billion, they ‘gut’ 1 billion, net increase 3 billion.
How much you wanna bet >!@)(!#
How could they do that to all of those “good” people at the IRS?
F**K em and feed em fish heads!
I'm in.
