You think it's a good idea to sabotage a government office with the intent of shutting it down?

Don't you? That's what the Democrats did to the Trump administration for 3+ years with the Russian collusion hoax.

I will mark you on the list of people who approve of sabotaging their own government.

Except that’s what you do when Republicans are in power.

Obama signed off on irs funding, cutting its budget. His scheme too? Lobby to make it simpler? I think that was a trump scheme

And will these new audits recover over 8 billion annually in “missed” taxes? I’m a bit skeptical that it will. It’s like spending a dollar to save a dime, it just doesn’t make financial sense.

please show a link that trump did that.... information I see is that the cuts of personnel were from 2014 thru 2018, and they were not really a large cut (about 12%)... currently today (2022) 78,661 down from the peak of 2012 of 90,280

2013 86,974
2014 84,133
2015 79,890
2016 77,924
2017 76,832

I see most of the cuts during Obama

their budget this past FY was $13.7 billion
