Like I get the humiliation aspect of Johnson relying on Dems and then them protecting him from a HFC effort to vacate.

But at the same time, it's loving gross as hell if any Dems actually vote in favor of that hateful piece of poo poo.

You sign his death warrant in the GOP by doing it, and drive the conspiracy minded chuds into a frenzied rage at the GOP leadership

You end his career by protecting him as the Dems

If the Dems have an opportunity to actually get governance to happen by way of holding on to that hateful piece of poo poo by the balls and making him dance to their tune, if only a little bit, not doing so would be way way worse than whatever nebulous moral signaling comes from "supporting" him. That's especially true if they have effective veto over whatever miserable bullshit he tries to pass through. There's a time and place for utilitarianism, and this is certainly one of them.

Not that it matters that much. It's all fantasy wishful thinking as far as I'm concerned. If Kevin McCarthy didn't have it in him to sign that pact, I can't see Johnson going for it.

Republicans: DEFUND THE IRS! :bahgawd:

https://twitter.com/MarketWatch/status/1745833905213607939

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/irs-has-already-collected-more-than-500-million-in-back-taxes-from-delinquent-millionaires-b70fe240

quote:

Millionaires who were behind on their taxes have already paid a half-billion dollars to get current with the IRS as the agency ratchets up high-level tax compliance.

On Friday, the IRS unveiled new numbers on the amount of back taxes paid by millionaire households ever since a 2022 upgrade brought tougher IRS enforcement on businesses and superwealthy tax delinquents and dodgers.

IRS officials said they’ve pulled in a further $360 million from millionaire households with at least $250,000 in tax debts. That follows an October IRS announcement that $160 million in delinquent taxes had been raked back from wealthy households.

That’s $520 million altogether — and a strong initial return on investment for a multibillion-dollar funding influx, according to IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel.

“We are seeing significant early indicators that our increased scrutiny … is having immediate impact,” Werfel told reporters Thursday. He also noted the IRS is pressing ahead with new audits on corporations and deep-pocketed partnerships.

There’s an uncertain future for a portion of the money tied to that tougher stance, though.

Millionaires who were behind on their taxes have already paid a half-billion dollars to get current with the IRS as the agency ratchets up high-level tax compliance.

On Friday, the IRS unveiled new numbers on the amount of back taxes paid by millionaire households ever since a 2022 upgrade brought tougher IRS enforcement on businesses and superwealthy tax delinquents and dodgers.

IRS officials said they’ve pulled in a further $360 million from millionaire households with at least $250,000 in tax debts. That follows an October IRS announcement that $160 million in delinquent taxes had been raked back from wealthy households.

That’s $520 million altogether — and a strong initial return on investment for a multibillion-dollar funding influx, according to IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel.

“We are seeing significant early indicators that our increased scrutiny … is having immediate impact,” Werfel told reporters Thursday. He also noted the IRS is pressing ahead with new audits on corporations and deep-pocketed partnerships.

There’s an uncertain future for a portion of the money tied to that tougher stance, though.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 authorized $80 billion to the IRS over a decade. More than half the money was earmarked to revive flagging enforcement of corporations, partnerships and rich households.

Werfel and the Biden administration have pledged no increase on the audit rates for households making less than $400,000 a year.

But in a deal to lift the debt ceiling, the White House agreed with House Republican negotiators to redirect $20 billion elsewhere. Part of a new potential deal to avert a partial government shutdown on Jan. 19 would speed up the pullback of that $20 billion.

A sped-up claw-back of the $20 billion wouldn’t affect the IRS’s upgrades and high-level crackdown until the later years of the decade, Werfel said.

But it’s money well-spent on enforcement and better customer service, he said. “For this progress to continue, we must maintain a reliable, consistent annual appropriation for our agency, as well as keeping Inflation Reduction Act funding intact,” Werfel said Thursday.

There are funding questions for the long term, but also questions in need of answers much sooner.

Income-tax-filing season starts on Jan. 29, and IRS funding could hit a wall on Feb. 2 without a new spending deal. Though people will still be able to file their 2023 income-tax returns in the event of a lapse, Werfel noted that a government shutdown has never occurred during tax-filing season.

“Shutdowns are highly disruptive,” he said, later adding that encountering one now would “increase the risk that we don’t have as smooth a filing season as we intend to have.”
