    Mnuchin Wants To INCREASE The Size Of The IRS

    President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of the treasury, Steve Mnuchin, said at his Senate confirmation hearing Thursday he would like to increase the size of the IRS.

    Mnuchin said that while some have questioned, including himself, the number of employees at the IRS, he would consider increasing the size of the labor force.

    “The IRS headcount has gone down quite dramatically, almost 30 percent over the last number of years. I don’t think there is any another government agency that has gone down 30 percent. Especially for an agency that collects revenues, this is something that I’m concerned about,” Mnuchin said.

    “Perhaps the IRS just started with way too many people. I am concerned about the staffing of the IRS,” Mnuchin told the Senate panel.

    oops I think I double posted this thread earlier

    Trump Treasury Chief Mnuchin: Moar IRS Agents!


    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    Awareness is the Root of Liberation Revolution is Action upon Revelation

    'Resistance and Disobedience in Economic Activity is the Most Moral Human Action Possible' - SEK3

     Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo.

    ...the familiar ritual of institutional self-absolution...
    ...for protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment...

    Why being emotional like liberals. Let's find the truth with rational thoughts, will you? As Trump is smart and hired smart people, they know what they are doing. I think I would do like him, because the debt cannot be repaid. Just like Japan's. It is too late. Bankruptcy or Inflation are the only alternatives. This was discussed at length here. Besides Trump wasn't hired to shrink the government. Trump won to build a wall and destroy the MSM

    You didn't vote for Trump to do that, but some of the people here believed him.
    Trump: I will eliminate U.S. debt in 8 years

    Rand Paul: Should we provide care and shelter to immigrants at the border or should we be paying for clown shows and a traveling circus?
    Rand Paul: Risk is this really the best we can do? Sometimes I wonder if we deserve the government we get.

I want the government shrunk, drastically. Either you're a dem in disguise or a stinking politician, I don't really care which. Just because team red won and is in control I'm supposed to lay down and shut up? Piss off jack ass.

    There is nothing to worry about with Donald Trump:

    Mnuchin can't increase the IRS because Donald Trump out a freeze on all federal departments and agencies.

    Edward Snowden can't get the death penalty because it is up to a jury to recommend the death penalty instead if a judge.

    His foreign policy is a non-interventionist all "peace through strength" which is along the lines of Rand Paul.

    The States already have nullified drug laws.

    He is a little rough around the edges and says some bizarre things but overall the is great with the checks and balances.

    As Ive said before he is a starting point for even better politicians as he had inspired non-career politicians to run for President.

    Lol, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. I'll take Trump over Hillary but really, as far as I can see he's no damn prize for liberty. If you're ok with that fine, I'm not.

    I'll agree that he isn't for freedom entirely but the checks and balances system stops his weak areas.

    Yes, we all know Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have spines of steel and will ensure our Constitution is followed. Just as Congress has stopped our previous presidents when they got a little power happy.

    I'm talking about Edward Snowden. It's up to a jury to recommend whether he gets the death penalty.

    When one party controls all branches of government, the checks and balances are weaker. Obama was limited by the Republican Congress.
