I agree. The implosion of the IRS wouldn't be pretty, but the consequences of this single occurrence wouldn't be immediate or catastrophic because of the government's ability to spend on the promise of collecting when things got fixed. Of all the terrible things that could happen, this would, IMO, be the least damaging, certainly not in a class with no electric power for months or forever or Russian nukes going ballistic, pun intended. All of the potential Y2K problems aren't of equal consequence. Just trying to distinguish between the problems that are scary, but fixable, and those that are terrifying. Treating all possibilities as equally terrifying is not helpful. Karen
