The only thing Republicans ever want to do to rein in the debt is to stop spending. But Republicans have been the party which has steadily increased the debt since Reagan was in office. Mostly in military spending and wars.
When Democrats increase spending, they tax to cover the cost. Republicans then cut the tax, and blame Democrats for the resulting deficit.
If you want to live in a a first world country, you have to pay for it. That's what taxes are. Your share of the costs of living in a first world country, If you want the biggest, baddest military in the world, open your wallet and pay for it.
What a stupid answer that is. The correct answer is to hire enough staff to properly process the returns and to audit for cheating.
Republicans don’t want rich people to pay taxes so they don’t want IRS to hire more agents.
I started a thread earlier. Rich people are not being audited. The middle class and poor are.
