Taxpayers Are Still on the Hook for Silicon Valley Bank- Here's Why
Leave Us Alone with Grover Norquist
Due to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, American taxpayers are obviously concerned about the health of the U.S. banking system. Federal regulators insured deposits beyond the $250,000 FDIC limit to protect against "systemic risk." The Biden administration disingenuously claims taxpayers will not be on the hook for bailing out SVB. Taxpayers will ultimately pay more for banking services because the regulators decided to insure all depositors, circumventing the $250,000 threshold. Tune in to Grover's latest episode of the Leave Us Alone podcast to learn more.
info_outlinePresident Joe Biden wants to hire 86,852 new IRS agents, which would more than double the agency’s workforce.
Even Obama-era IRS chief John Koskinen – a longtime advocate of increasing the IRS budget – thinks President Joe Biden’s proposal to increase IRS funding by $80 billion is too much.
Rather than fix the agency's longstanding mismanagement, ineptitude and abuse problems, Biden's approach will make the problem worse.
Numerous watchdog reports have found that the agency’s inability to do its job is due to incompetence, not lack of funding.
The last thing the IRS needs is more power and responsibility. In fact, it is likely that new responsibilities will become overwhelming for the IRS, leading to these new scandals and new cases of taxpayer abuse.
Join ATR President Grover Norquist as he discusses the history of IRS scandals and taxpayer abuses with author James Bovard.
