IRS: screw the taxpayer

IRS ignoring 60 percent of taxpayers’ calls as deadline looms

by Stephan Dinan

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen aid Tuesday that service at his agency has gotten so bad that they are ignoring more than 60 percent of taxpayers’ phone calls during this tax season

Speaking at the National Press Club, Mr Koskinen pleaded for more money, saying a budget boost would help them staff their overwhelmed customer service lines. He also said it would help reverse staffing cuts in their compliance division, where he said the government will lose $2 billion this year in money it would otherwise have been able to collect if it had better staffing.

But wait; I thought Mr Obama was going to hire, literally, thousands more agents in order to enforce ObamaKare.  Why can’t those agents be cross-trained to do something more constructive like, say, answer phones?

Oh wait, here comes the key paragraph:

Congress has cut or held the agency’s funding static for several years now, with lawmakers deeming the agency recalcitrant in solving problems, and unrepentant for having targeted tea party groups for intrusive scrutiny.

So I ask: just what is it that the federal government does well?  It isn’t the IRS; it isn’t the Treasury; it isn’t the EPA; it isn’t Veterans Affairs; and it isn’t Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor or Transportation.

And it most certainly isn’t the Department of State.

Guess what: it won’t be ObamaKare either.

Washington DC: checking me out

DC - Viewed Federal Government IncompetentThis is interesting: the federal government in DC felt compelled to check out ol’ BZ by clicking on my category of “federal government incompetent,” as indicated by the screen grab above.

Perhaps they’re looking for ways to further screw up our country?

Mr Obama can only hope.

Honestly, I find this not only amusing but ironic.

Let’s add this post to that category, shall we?

Ted Cruz to Megyn Kelly: Eric Holder Should Resign For ‘Unprecedented’ ‘Willingness To Disregard The Law’

Posted on by

From the FoxNewsInsider.com:

In an interview with Megyn Kelly on America Live, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) reflected on his extensive history as an attorney and used it to weigh in on the increasing scandals surrounding current U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

“The conduct of the Justice Department does not inspire confidence. We have seen pattern after pattern with respect to investigation of the media. We have seen the Department of Justice willing to seize the phone records, to seize the emails of this network, of the Associated Press and by all appearances the attorney general went before Congress, stated he had nothing to do with it, it’s become public that he did in fact have quite a bit to do with it. The attorney general needs to come forward and explain what the truth is and why he told Congress something different,” said Cruz.

Pressure, ladies and gentlemen.  There is pressure.

I say: let the pressure increase and increase to bursting.

I want things to break in DC.
