#1 'This package will reduce the deficit by $300 billion': Biden's bold predictions on Manchin's tax and spend bill that will lower healthcare costs and help fight climate change - and tells Congress to 'pass it for America'

#2 ...stepped-up enforcement by the IRS

When the IRS isn't even picking up the phones on the main number or the PPL (Practitioner Priority Line, 1-866-860-4259) line? I don't see stepped-up enforcement being a reality. I called on Wednesday at 11:30 AM and I just tried it again now and 'due to extremely high call volumes', they can't take call and it gets dropped. This means I can't get account / wage & income transcripts and the only way I can resolve shit is to write a letter to them, send it anywhere but their Kansas City facility and hope they don't throw it away like the 30 million pieces of mail they destroyed last year.

#3 Stepped up enforcement is a reality, fixing existing problems is irrelevant.

#4 Let me restate things, Glenmore, I don't see effective stepped-up enforcement. The IRS currently employs 78,000 people and as currently constructed they can't (won't) answer phone calls and wound up destroying all those tax returns & other letters rather than do their fucking jobs. Remember last year when the Biden dolts wanted to add another 80,000 people to do audits? How good do you think those people are going to be? They already have a workforce that in my professional opinion are largely untalented pieces of shit who I wouldn't let balance my checkbook, because they can't. Most of that audit effort will result in appeals, dragging the whole thing down.

If you want to believe stepped up enforcement being reality, I might be inclined to believe it, but not what I've seen from the green eyeshade division of the Keystone Kops.
