Obama wants massive spending, staffing increases for IRS in 2016 budget

Maybe I ought to get a job. ;)

[quote=http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/obama ... le/2560283]Thousands of new Internal Revenue Service employees will not be shouldering the regulatory burden Obamacare rules have heaped onto the tax agency, despite IRS claims that it needed massive additional funding to hire such support staff.

Only 483 of the 9,245 new hires President Obama is seeking for the IRS in his 2016 budget proposal would be assigned to work on Obamacare programs, according to a budget summary published by the federal tax agency.

As the agency tasked with enforcing Obamacare’s individual mandate provision, the IRS must for the first time this year assess a fine against people who were eligible for the government-funded health insurance but declined to enroll.[/quote]

I'm sure most of the new IRS folks will be assigned to work hard on getting tax refunds processed and distributed quickly.  Oh, and helping all citizens and illegals fill out tax forms accurately in 30 seconds or less when they call for help, especually if they push 8 for Arabic on the phone pad.  ;)
