45 slashes IRS budget? SHOCKING!
For Mr. Light, the most compelling evidence of the Trump administration’s intention was the 14-percent cut it wants for the IRS.
“Think about it. What better way to break the back of the government than by undermining the ability of the Federal Government to fund itself?” Mr. Light asked. “It fits right into the deconstruction agenda. Like removing the electrical wiring in a house. You start sawing off big parts of these agencies and understaff them enough so they can’t function; you break morale and finish them off by strangling their funding.”

Who knew the excessive budget of the IRS was why America is "failing" ...?

45s were the music of my junior high. We all had stacks of them, preferring them over LPs. Let's make the asshole in chief as obsolete as the 45.
