Exactly this, from @natasharsarin.bsky.social & former IRS commissioner Danny Werfel: "In other words, an extremely diminished IRS could unlock a race to the bottom and create an evasion advantage for those who are comfortable skirting their tax bills."

New analysis from @budgetlab.bsky.social:
The IRS is entering into an agmt to share data about undocumented immigrants with ICE. Historically, the agency promised data would not be used in this way.
We estimate the govt will lose ~$300B in the next decade as a result.

Even when we stop talking about deflator choices (which I’ll find sad), the big q is what lessons we can learn for future policy. I agree with @jasonfurman.bsky.social that including supply expansion in future infra bills (cutting red tape and making it easier to permit and build) is key.
BTW, important to be clear about lessons for the future. Eric & I think the BIL was more successful than J&Z do. But it would have been better without high inflation. Going forward, we agree that investment should incorporate supply expansion: cutting red tape & making it easier to build.

Amy Paris was hired to help modernize the nation's donor organ network, which ensures critically-ill people get the organs they need.
She was also let go.
