Trump Team Prepares Dramatic Cuts

[jimmy eat jazz]

Wrong.
Liberals an Obeezy doubled the national deficit an engaged in more wars then ever. Conservatives were against the Terror in Chief's neo-con war creations.
End of story.

The first sentence in your reply does not even begin to address anything I wrote.

The second part of your reply is unclear, but just in case you forgot, our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan began under a Republic President, and the Iraq invasion was the brainchild of Republican neo-cons in the Bush administration.

Anytime Boris and DutchJazzer and their ilk decide to ruin a thread with their stupidity, one can almost hear the collective IQ of this board collapse. Conservatives have a large number of very intelligent, well-spoken people, how come we're stuck with the conservative village idiots?

reported for personal attack!!!!!!!!!!

So how much would this audit cost?

As an auditor and a CPA, I can tell you that all organizations receiving $750K in funding from the federal government during the year must have a "Single Audit" completed to verify that the monies were spent according to the grant or award. They can be expensive due to the high level of assurance required in an audit.

I don't see the IRS on there. That's the one thing that kills me about Trump. Give me a flat or fair tax, which naturally reduces the IRS. Stevie Goldman Mnuchin new tresury secretary out there saying we need more IRS workers is not an exciting thing.

Anyhow, these are just starting points. Nothing to get too caught up in now. More to come.

Disagree. Do you know how small the IRS's budget is compared to the federal budget? It's a fraction of 1%. The only way to substantially impact federal spending is through cuts to healthcare (medicaid, medicare, etc.), social security, or military. Every additional dollar added to the IRS's budget increases government tax revenue by $3-$5. If anything, increase the IRS budget and cut some military spending. You could cut 10% of military spending and it would be 6X the savings of the entire IRS budget.

It really pisses me off when people call Medicare and Social Security an entitlement. They're paid into over a lifetime. It's the peoples money. It's not like it's free money.

Your issue is not with the word itself but with the negative stigma attached to it by politicians regarding Social Security and Medicare. You'll see my point when you read the first definition.

That essentially the point I was making. So, yes, correct.
