Ted Cruz: Don’t Double the Size of the IRS, Abolish It!

BUCK: Welcome back to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show. This is Buck. And Clay is back with us, thankfully, from a lovely vacation.

BUCK: So we’ve got much to discuss with you today, including the super-sizing, super-charging IRS on steroids. I think, Clay, one of the problems here is that until people feel the bootheel of the IRS on their neck and the hand in the pocket, so to speak, they won’t realize just how frustrating and how annoying this is. But I would want to remind everybody that the same Democrats who were sending the police onto the plane if your masks drop beneath your nose, now want tens of thousands of new IRS agents. That’s not gonna be fun.

CLAY: How do you ever get rid of them? This is my biggest issue with government expansion. When you add basically 90,000 bureaucrats to our federal government roles, how many people out there think that these people are ever not going to have jobs? Are we ever going to be able to bring back the IRS to the size that it was prior to this bill being passed?

I don’t think that we are, and that’s the challenge with government and Big Government growing like it does. Buck, I wish we could just fire half of all federal employees. I think if we fired half of all federal employees with one stroke of the pen, I don’t think the efficiency of our government would change at all. We’re never gonna get rid of these guys now.
