As the Government Efficiency Department (Doge) seeks to reduce waste and correct inefficiencies, a Advisor of Dugo He revealed that it is “difficult to really understand the scale” of the problems facing the IRS.
“A large part of our government is raising taxes. We cannot perform the basic functions of tax collection without paying all these contractors. We really have to discover how to get out of this hole. We are in a really deep hole at this time,” said Doge representative Sam Corcos. “Ingraham angle” Thursday.
The “Dux Bro” threw light on his work within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to cut the Federal Government’s fat together with Treasury Secretary, Scott Besent.
Corcos told Fox News Laura Ingraham that one of her main priorities during her six -month timeline is Look at the IRS Modernization program, as well as other operations and budgets.
“This is a great program that is currently 30 years old, and already has a budget of $ 15 billion,” he said. “The IRS has a rather inherited infrastructure … and the challenge has been how to migrate that to a modern system?”
The CEO and co -founder of the levels observed that many important banks that ran in similar systems have already been modernized. He added that the IRS has more than three rear decades and billions about the budget compared to the typical industry expectations.
“Now we are in 35 years in this program. If you ask them now, it is five years away, and five years have passed since 1990. It was supposed to be delivered in 1996, and it is still five years away,” he said.

“The entrenched interests, the consultants, the Democrats, the main media, just want to get this water project,” Besent told Ingraham. “This is the opposite of government efficiency, not elimination, not extinction. Sam and their crew are making it more efficient to work for the American people. So what is wrong with the better, cheaper, faster, faster and more privacy?”
Besent said that his three main priorities for the tax collection office are “collections, privacy and customer service”, and argued that “none of them is being well attended.”
“We want people to feel satisfied that they are receiving the service they deserve, that they are paying their fair part and no more, no less. And that it is done quickly, intelligently and privately.”
