I love learning knew things. That's one of the reasons I find blogging so addicting. That constant thirst for knowledge gets quenched and then a new day begins.
Today I learned that the IRS operating budget is over $10 billion dollars per year.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) budget request for FY 2006 is $10,679,261,000, a $443,174,088 increase, or 4.3 percent, over the FY 2005 enacted budget of $10,236,086,912. This represents a 1 percent decrease in Taxpayer Service and a 2 percent decrease in Business Systems Modernization, respectively, and an 8 percent increase in Enforcement.[link to pdf] Simply staggering.
