#2 make it more likely that people who cheat on their taxes will get away with it.

Because there is no real enforcement mechanism to prevent the bureaucracy to play lose with spending authorizations, they'll just shift money around the budget to the collection department to keep the revenue flowing. So bureaucrats that cheat on their budget are likely to get away with it.

#3 Money DOES talk. If you get your paycheck severely CUT it would send a message. The IRS are arrogant sh85s who screwed the wrong people.
Let us see if they are stupid also.

#4 Doesn't this have to pass in the Senate as well? Because if so, Harry Reid will see that it goes nowhere so long as he is in charge, ie. until the Republicans get a majority. This means this is just a warning shot across the IRS bow until the next Congress is sworn in in January.

Vote in November. Vote Republican, even if your candidate is a Rhino, because that's the only way we have any chance of reining in those arrogant, big government bastards.

#5 This is about the only tool Congress has at this point. Special prosecutors won't get by Holder. Can't impeach Holder or Obama as it won't get past Harry Reid. Cut off the money and starve the agencies of money. The government has been weaponized against the people--they have no voice or protections anymore.

#6 Idiots. The one part of the IRS budget that will get bad press. Could have gone after travel and junkets, bonuses, salary increases or even departments involved in wrong doing but oh no. We are way too stupid for that.

#7 While we're on the subject of idiots, the IRS could shift all the junket money into enforcement.

But idiots can't see an opportunity, so they pass it up. Like the Paleos.

#8 Or they can change their triggers for an audit from 'large sums of unaccounted for income', and 'excessive deductions' to things like: 'from a red state', 'Conservative', "Tea Party associated"..
