I like that funding the IRS is on the list.

After last administration's windfall, not funding the IRS would be leaving money on the table.

What windfall?

IRS tops $1 billion in past-due taxes collected from millionaires; compliance efforts continue involving high-wealth groups, corporations, partnerships.

That's with tens of billions in extra funding. I get that they're still training tax agents, and that number should go up in the future, but as of now, there are no meaningful results to speak of.
