MORE - DOGE Staffer Drops Bombshell After Bombshell About Inner Workings of IRS/Treasury Dept. DOGE insider Sam Corcos, special adviser to the U.S. Treasury Department, just unloaded a jaw-dropping exposé on the IRS and Treasury’s chaotic operations. He’s pulling the mask off, and it’s wild. 1]. IRS’ Massive IT Dept. Outstrips Midsize Banks by 175x Budget and 40x Staff “A typical midsize bank will have somewhere between 1 and 200 people in IT and they have an operations and maintenance budget in like the $20 million a year range. We have 8,000 people in IT, and our operations and maintenance budget is $3.5 billion a year. I don’t really know why yet.” 2]. Contractors Eat Up 80% of IRS’ Massive Operations Budget “I will tell that you 80% of that budget goes to contractors and licenses——We cannot perform the basic functions of tax collection without paying a toll to all these contractors.” 3].

That’s a lot of budget and way beyond any reasonable cost for what you would expect at a private company for this.” 4]. Ghost Contracts Bleed Millions With No Accountability “You find contracts that are 10, 20, 30, $50 million and you just ask like, why are we doing this? And everyone’s just like, meh, I don’t know. And then you cancel it and then nothing happens. It’s just inertia, has just taken over.”
