Democrat Joe Biden’s administration is signaling that Americans need to prepare for high frustration over chaotic and slow IRS response to their tax refunds this year, citing problems with employment and blaming the mess on the rejection of their Build Back Better plan, smacking some people as revenge for not getting the massive spending bill they wanted.
Reports in early January said that while the IRS is a chaotic organization under messy Democrat leadership facing the Pandemic setbacks, they are also low on funding.
“At the same time, the IRS faces shrinking resources: Over the past decade, the IRS budget has been slashed by nearly 20%. During the last administration, staffing for Taxpayers Assistance Centers also decreased to the point where less than a third as many taxpayers are able to receive face-to-face assistance from the IRS than in 2016,” CBS News reported on Monday, trying to shift the blame on President Donald J. Trump’s administration, for keeping his promise to reduce the size of the federal government.
“According to Treasury officials, the IRS workforce is now the same size it was in 1970, despite the population growing by 60%. The processing technology dates back to the 1960s. And there are also fewer auditors than at any time since World War II.,” CBS reported, trying to ignore the fact that the American people don’t want a more extensive IRS.
Democrats lost out on a bill they thought was going to save them from their reckless spending and for their lack of solid leadership. Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, and others on the Hill had tried desperately to reign in Democrat Senator Joe Manchin, after announcing he wouldn’t vote for the package, over fears it would further spike soaring inflation.
The Democrats never recovered after Manchin and others rejected their nonsense plan.
The Biden administration is pushing for more money and resources to help the IRS to solve the problem. The agency received $2 billion as part of the American Rescue Plan passed last March. The proposed 2022 budget called for increasing IRS funding by nearly 15%.
Most Americans understand that the Democrat’s fantasies in the Build Back Better was legions of IRS agents to harass citizens.
Republican US Rep Boozman had warned Americans what was in store for us- had Build Back Better passed.
In the following video, Boozman warned of hardships with bank accounts and being targeted by the IRS for spending having $10,000 in activity:
In December, Boozman suggested that the IRS is misusing resources and outlined what he had learned about the poor service by the IRS at a press conference.
Democrats continue to blame problems on everyone else.
‘In many areas, we are unable to deliver the amount of service and enforcement that our taxpayers and tax system deserves and needs. This is frustrating for taxpayers, for IRS employees and for me,’ said Rettig told the media, taking the easy way out and refusing to look for cost-effective solutions like reducing the amount of spending Democrats have in places where spending needs to be halted.
The Daily Mail reported on the disaster:
“The IRS is warning taxpayers that they expect possibly slower service than usual due to staffing and funding shortages – as Biden’s Build Back Better bill that would have sunk billions into the beleaguered agency stalls in congress.
Tax season begins on January 24 and runs to April 18, the US Treasury Department and IRS announced Monday.
Republicans have intentionally gutted the IRS, making it harder for Americans to file taxes and easier for the wealthy to cheat.

Warren and other Democrats are unconcerned about the confusion they are causing for the American people, pushing for an earlier tax season while legislation about taxpayers is not yet even clear to financial institutions, leaving taxpayers in a very uncomfortable situation, knowing the Democrat Party has dreams of armies of auditors who will be looking for the tiniest mistakes- should they retain their power in the future.
