IRS Commissioner John Koskinen reaffirmed everything
Americans suspected about federal government agencies and their attitude
towards Congress. They don’t give a damn
where monies are allocated by our elected representatives. They will do as they please despite
constitutional prerogatives of the power of the purse.
Congress allocated funds to the IRS specifically for
cybersecurity and customer service. Mr.
Koskinen decided they can go to hell. He’ll
determine were taxpayer monies go. Here
is an excerpt from the Washington Examiner:
"Congress, as I noted in my testimony, has
underfunded … the Affordable Care Act," IRS Commissioner John Koskinen
told a panel of the House Appropriations Committee. "That does not remove
the statutory mandate we have that we have to implement the act."
Koskinen delivered his remarks in response to a
question from Chairman Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., who pointed out that Congress
had "increased funding specifically for taxpayer services" in 2014
and 2016.
Koskinen said it didn't
matter where Congress intended the money to go, explaining the agency had
pulled funding for customer service and cybersecurity in order to ensure
compliance with the ACA.
The Obama
administration has shown nothing but contempt for Congress and the
Constitution. This POS should be
impeached along with the pretender in the Oval Office.
