Economist Explains Why DOGE Cuts to the IRS Will Backfire

The IRS already fails to collect $700 billion a year, but the tax gap could get a lot worse if DOGE follows through with a plan to cut the agency's workforce in half, according to Natasha Sarin, Professor at Yale Law School & Co-Founder/President of The Budget Lab at Yale. Sarin estimates that if headcount at the IRS is cut by 50%, then the government would lose $400 billion on uncollected taxes over the next decade. Sarin also discusses the inequities in the tax system and how more investment, not destruction, can help fix the IRS. ----Sarin is also has a secondary appointment at the Yale School of Management in the Finance Department. Previously, she served as deputy assistant secretary for economic policy and later as a counselor to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.https://x.com/NatashaRSarinHosted by https://x.com/kylascan----The content of the video is for general and informational purposes only.
