      Not going to look up the actual numbers, but…

      Dems said we need X billions dollars to fund the IRS.

      Dems asked for billions less, got even less passed. Then went back and took billions more from that after it was passed as a “show of good faith” in negations with Republicans. I’m pretty fucking sure that was to get a budget passed, which Surprise! Republicans still didn’t pass one.

      That’s why I said “the only other option isn’t putting up much of a fight…”.

      By Dems own admission we’re not giving them enough, even before it was reduced multiple times.
