    Again. This is bad journalism. It’s not lost, it’s “lost.”

      i don’t understand your point. the article reports that the IRS is being disrupted by DOGE, and as a result, IRS agents are not able to do their jobs properly, which results in less tax money being received

          Not sure what you mean. Their job is literally to collect money. If you want to play the revenue concept its till lost revenuer. Would you prefer theft by the rich?

          If you owe me money and I don’t get it then its lost. Or you didn’t pay me so you stole money from me. Please give me another example of how its not lost instead of just saying the words. Give me an explanation or an example.

            I think their argument is that the tax revenue is still owed, whether it’s collected or not. So the IRS could absolutely get back on track post Trump and pursue these unpaid taxes.
