The Senate hearings on Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are very revealing. In the first video, Mnuchin, who previously worked for Goldman Sachs, says he's concerned and "particularly surprised that the IRS headcount has gone down quite dramatically, almost 30% over the last number of years" amd vows to remedy that problem. In the second video, Munchin says he wants private IRS debt collectors to be more effective. "We can collect tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of dollars, for the American public...particularly in an environment where we are looking for money for so many programs, this to me, seems like a very obvious thing to do." He continues "the majority of Americans voluntarily file their tax returns honestly. But we are all aware that there is tax fraud, and there is tax evasion, and we need to be diligent. I will work very hard with you on that."
He concludes "one of my great priorities, absolutely," is to "modernize the IRS," to "use my expertise in technology' so 'that the IRS can interact with the American taxpayers.'
