#billionaires - During last week’s negotiations to avert a govt shutdown, #Congress quietly slashed $20 billion from the #IRS. Republicans have long targeted the #tax agency & their cuts will hurt its efforts to go after #rich #tax #evaders & improve the IRS’s functionality. It’s their second successful cut from President #Biden $80 billion funding boost to the agency in the 2022 #InflationReductionAct as the #GOP took away an earlier $20 billion in a 2023 #budget deal. https://newrepublic.com/post/189672/republicans-cut-irs-funding-government-shutdown
