IRS Hearings

[boom]

There shouldn't need to be an investigation. Most transparent administration in history, right?

I can't believe that the federal government pays bonuses. WTF? I have a solution too. That should be stopped immediately.
I thought this snippet was pretty interesting from the hearings.

"When Tennessee Republican Rep Scott DesJarlais asked Koskinen how much money it would take to replace the IRS's computer systems in order to prevent another major data loss, he answered that it would cost between $10 and $30 million.
In a tense moment, DesJarlais then reminded him that the IRS paid $89 million in bonuses last year, including $1 million to agency employees who owed back taxes.
Issa added that the agency has an $1.8 billion information technology budget.

Best you one here Kenny! The IRS has spent 10million on defending its position to the committee investigating it. Kinda like what the government SD cost the Tax Payers by the proud senator from Texas Cruz.
