Do you ever know what you are talking about or do you just like to run your fucking mouth.

Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) — As millions of Americans race to meet Tuesday's tax deadline, their chances of getting audited are lower than they have been in years.
Budget cuts and new responsibilities are straining the Internal Revenue Service's ability to police tax returns. This year, the IRS will have fewer agents auditing returns than at any time since at least the 1980s.
Taxpayer services are suffering, too, with millions of phone calls to the IRS going unanswered.
I get it that you "do stupid" and you do it very well. But you are an ignorant asswipe.....typical republicunt, really...who simply doesn't know what the fuck you are talking about.

Quote:As a basic comparison, mainframe-class tape drives, such as Oracle's Sun StorageTek T10000B, are priced[when?] at approximately US$37,000 each, excluding tape libraries. (IBM's TS1130 is also representative of this storage class.)
$37,000 per tape to back up useless emails - and trust me...most of them are USELESS....I had to read a lot of them and you wonder why an agency which can't afford to hire people for its primary function was trying to scrimp? I know you really want to hang the black guy...(you don't fool me with your protestations, Woodie) but if you read the article posted about the NARA system you'd know that if there were any emails to or from Lerner o the White House they would already have been on the NARA's systems which were not part of the IRS' email system.
To normal people, the fact that they were not there would say something but you are a republicunt which means normal is fucked.
Quote:No...the emails were not "lost". They were, however, purposefully destroyed to cover up evidence of criminal wrongdoing on the part of the IRS and person or persons unknown.
Oh look. Another one who hasn't got a shred of evidence but "knows" what happened.
The tape you cited can store 8500GB. The average email is 75 kb. The tape can store 113,000,000 emails. There are 89,500 IRS employees. One tape can store 1262 emails for every IRS employee. The average business employee sends out 37 emails a day. This means one tape can hold 34 days worth of emails if each IRS employee sends out 37 per day. In short it would take about 11 tapes to store all the IRS emails....permanently. It would cost about $400,000 dollars in tapes. Now you want me to believe that the 1.3 billion dollar IRS IT budget is so strapped for cash it can't afford $400,000 a year in tapes? This is just the IT department....the total budget for the IRS is about 12.5 billion dollars.
Government is corrupt and incompetent. This is why it needs to be small and have minimal power. Yet you liberaltards want to keep growing it.....and you wonder why I think you're a bunch of idiots.
