IRS system update (prior to 2025) 


On a side note:

First: This week it was suggested that some government employees are using their position in the government for their own financial benefit. This should be taken seriously. The DOGE team should start at the very top and work their way down.

Second: Vague references to employees illegally benefitting from their government position is just posturing. If the evidence exists, there are legal avenues to pursue the individuals. There are many reasons why people have more money than their base salary would suggest, so make sure the information is accurate and then pursue people in the courts.

Third: Having an organization outside the US Congress scrutinize the personal finances of every government employee is at best troubling.

Finally: Identifying inefficiencies in government and fixing them is a great endeavor, just make sure that vital functions are not replaced with a promise of "something better" at an unspecified date. That is like removing squeaking breaks while driving on the interstate. Make sure that the replacement is working before the old breaks are removed, so the car still functions as needed.
