The IRS spending spree

As the Federal budget goes, $40 million for one conference for IRS managers is a pittance (and that’s a different problem).  But it certainly shows that they are blind to the problems of their “customers.”  Also, they apparently were deaf to the worries of lesser paid government employees, and Rep.

His recommendation?  Start over—a training webinar isn’t going to fix a culture that is so disconnected from reality.
