Taxpayers have long been footing the bill for comparable 80%s at many federal agencies, of course, when a very large percentage are just dead weight. They collect paychecks, benefits left-and-right, and build up pensions that our children and grandchildren will be stuck paying, lest they get visited by those 80,000 additional IRS agents.
I took my kids to DC to see the monuments and the Smithsonian a long time ago. I was walking down a street and saw massive office buildings. One is the USDA. Another was the dept of Education. These buildings were huge with a lot of windows. I got to thinking about how many people occupy those buildings and the fact that I pay for all of their salaries and bennies.
Maddening.
