Incorrect. This is a bi-partisan problem. We want everything, but we don't want to pay for it.
Unless we want to end up like Greece, we need across the board cuts (without whining) accompanied with an increase in taxes. Of course, not a single one of the 19 presidential candidates (16 Rep and 3 Dem) would even consider such an idea.
If he said it, it must be true.

It's possibly true that they are underfunded...
That said, they are also incompetent. I would fire everyone in charge there. Any organization that sends thousands of checks to the same address getting defrauded is horribly mismanaged. One IT guys time of 30 mins could put a fix in place to prevent that. Don't need a lot of funding to put in good controls and save tons of money.
You're an idiot if you think they don't have IT guys working there.
The IRS budget has been cut 18% since 2010, adjusting for inflation. This means that they can't enforce tax laws as effectively and people who pay their taxes get screwed by those who are able to evade (call it a hunch, but I'm willing to bet that the people who can afford to hire smart accountants have an easier time giving the IRS the slip than those who can't). Honest taxpayers will have to pay more to make up for the revenue that IRS isn't able to collect and good luck to anyone who runs into any problems while filing their taxes.
Some of you conservatives have already given your vote to corporate interests. I'm surprised that you're just as eager to give them your hard-earned money.
Surely even his most staunch reporters have to be questioning him by now.
Nope.
It's true that the IRS is underfunded for its current mandate.
It's also true that the tax code in this country is so needlessly complicated that a large bureaucracy like the IRS is necessary.
Both statements can be true without contradicting each other, but most people will only say, "But I send alls muh money to them IRS, how you gonna say they ain't got nuff funds?"
I'd love for there to be a serious debate about changing the current tax laws, but you've got people on one side wanting to modify behavior through taxes and people on the other clamoring for a flat tax or some other such nonsense. There seems to be no one proposing a gradual, rational simplification.

I'm sure they do have IT guys (well and girls. probably exactly 50% girls due to AA). The problem is that they're kind kind of IT guys who would want to go work in a government job. Which is to say, they jobs are not exactly a magnet for the best, brightest, and most hard-working.
First, disprove the claim that Republican 501c4 "charities" like Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS are not primarily spending money "for political purposes."

The IRS was absolutely right to target conservative groups that were flouting this law. What was wrong was that they have responded to this "scandal" by not enforcing the law.
