This does not explain why the IRS needs $80 billion. Do each of these problems take billions of dollars to fix? $1B ~= 1000 engineers working for 10 years. $

$1B ~= 1000 engineers working for 10 years.
$1B ~= buying 1.6 ORNL frontier supercomputers.
- Woodi 4y ago> "$80 billion through the Inflation Reduction Act — not only for more enforcement but also for tech modernization." Just part for computers and consultants fee. But maybe they have plans for old school shoppnigs - machines with tailor made OS, compilers and apps ? ;) But it will be a disaster if they plan to rent some cloud "computing power"... Data on Dark Net within a year ?
- gamblor956 4y agoDue to more than a decade of Republican budget cuts, the IRS's computer systems are very outdated, and due to those same budget cuts their staff levels are the lowest they've ever been in the modern era. Most of this $80 billion is going to be spent simply just bringing them up to adequate staffing and technology to meet their current needs.
