Reducing the tax credit disbursements won't help the IRS budget. They have no incentive to do so.

- vlovich123 5y agoI didn't mean to imply it would somehow help the IRS budget directly. I was saying it helps the Federal Government's overall deficit. The IRS isn't some body immune from political pressure. The leadership is appointed by POTUS & confirmed by the Senate. Regardless of which political party is responsible, the Federal government has a lot of benefits programs that have a lot of roadblocks to actually take advantage of. That isn't an accident. You could look at it as the GOP tending to send up roadblocks (e.g. they famously forced the IRS to strike a deal with Intuit) OR you can look at it as a class divide where the GOP are just the "baddies" everyone can scream about without actually needing to hold the government accountable.
