The White House is proposing to cut more than 9,400 workers and just over $1.5 billion from the 60,000-employee Transportation Security Administration that handles airport security operations, according to budget documents.
The details were part of a budget document for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees TSA, that is part of the White House budget proposal for the next fiscal year.
With the IRS, it was shown that at lower staffing levels, they don’t have the resources to audit large tax cheats like billionaires, just middle annd lower income folk. So I imagine they would be super happy to reduce IRS headcount.
It’s one of the first things they did. https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/2025/07/22/irs-workforce-has-shrunk-25-since-trump-took-office/165368/
This is why I support cutting down the IRS. In 258,983 ywar when I earn my first Billion working my 9-5, I can more easily avoid paying taxes.
