The proposal by the House to cut the budget of the Internal Revenue Service by $3 billion is just about the dumbest move I have ever heard of.
To begin with, it leaves in place those responsible for the lavish spending, the conservative targeting, the mis-publication of social security numbers and other sins. Cutting the budget is not going to stop what has been going on and continues to go on; the mentality of these people is that they will cut some payroll and keep on with "business as usual."
This amounts to an end-run around the responsibility to investigate and assign blame and to punish those responsible. It is an abrogation of oversight authority and totally leaves the American public without a due and proper resolution of the matter.
This Congress refuses, absolutely refuses, to come to grips with the fact that we have an out-of-control runaway government that can do whatever it wants, whenever it wants. Are we to accept cutting the budget of State, E.P.A., D.O.J., N.S.A. and the rest of the gang as being the answer to misfeasance and malfeasance in office? Are our elected officials too afraid of Obama and his goon squad to throw the bums out?
