A friend of mine who works at the IRS center near here was informed today that he would be let go on Friday. (No irony here today! ^_^) Despite Dear Leader’s trillion-plus largesse-fest, the IRS didn’t get an expanded budget. All the new revenue agent & investigator positions came out of the existing budget at its 2008 level….so the Agency cut worker positions under the GS-7 level. Yeah, Hope and Change! More new jobs all around for everyone! Uh huh, yeah….
