Today, Congressman French Hill (AR-02) announced that this month’s Golden Fleece recipient is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) during an interview on First News with Kevin Miller. During the interview, Hill stated, “The IRS’ anti-fraud program [is] a really important part of what the IRS does. Just between 2008 and 2010, they lost $458 billion a year on not capturing fraud. They get the Golden Fleece for [their work on] a fraud program to improve their capture rate that is now over budget by $86 million. The original budget was $57 million. We need to catch fraudulent returns, but we also need the kind of management, implementation, and responsibility at the IRS to do that in the right way.” Listen to the entire interview here. |
