Republicans, it must be said, are also deeply culpable in this travesty, though they have, as usual, outmaneuvered and outsmarted the blundering, out-of-touch Dems into taking the brunt of the anger. It was the Republicans, remember, who rejected a provision in an earlier version of the bill that would have increased the enforcement budget of the IRS. That would have made it easier for the agency to investigate the high-end tax cheats who really matter. According to the Congressional Budget Office, it would have returned roughly $2.50 for every dollar of the increased IRS budget, without sweeping new surveillance powers.
