During the previous administration, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which included $80 billion for IRS to hire more people to go after the rich. The CBO estimated that it would collect $200 billion in the next decade, but there were other predictions of $560 billion.

Trump reversed all of that. Elon Musk and DOGE fired 1/3 of the IRS work force.

Correct. Their donors allowed only a temporary, token gesture they knew could be immediately undone.

Dems get to look like they did something, Rs get to look like they did something, no actual progress is made, and the march of tyranny continues.
