Magats only say that to gut government spending on poor and working class people.
Musk claimed that he wants to cut 20,000 IRS employees, he has already cut 7,000. Musk admitted that he foresees a 10% tax revenue decrease which amounts to 500 billion dollars in lost revenue. It will be worse than that next year after the IRS is gutted more.
If we invest 1 dollar in a federal IRS tax auditor, we get a return of 12 dollars, Musk/Krasnov are firing those people.
The House is planning to vote for 1.7 trillion dollars in tax cuts for billionaires this 4th of July and with the IRS gutted, goodbye revenue.
Balance the budget my ass.
