Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) expressed doubts that a continuously shrinking IRS could effectively do its job, especially now that it's received new responsibilities under the tax reform law. "It is hard to imagine why this administration would want to weaken the IRS and give taxpayers less resources right after passing a complex tax bill," Quigley said. He also questioned why the Trump administration would cut cybersecurity enhancement funding nearly in half--down from $47.7 million in 2017 to $25.2 million in 2019 --especially at a time when the IRS stops nearly a million attempted cyber intrusions each day. "The Treasury budget before us would slash various programs that will make us less effective, less efficient and more vulnerable to outside risk," he said.
