>> Excuse me??? The IT is old and cranky so you're just going to blow that chunk of the government up and, what, not process tax returns, or maybe not have taxes at all and abolish the IRS, or what?

Of course not. I would replace it with new systems at a trivial cost of 10 or 20 Billion dollars, which would allow higher efficiency at reduced cost. I would recommend paying for it out of the $100 Billion the Idiot in Chief wants to waste on "broadband".

Then, I would blow up the buildings full of 1960s crap that is counterproductive in trying to run IRS.

IRS is perhaps a worst case scenario, but you can look at USDA and come away with the same problems on a smaller scale.

Someone has to tackle the difficult problems at some point. Yet, we're blowing money on BROADBAND? Which is about as stupid a waste of money as I can think of?

Well, the model of small little fiefdoms run by local warlords is something that humans have used for thousands of years. If it was good enough for our ancestors, why isn't it good enough for us?
