Will Norway win it all? This guy is just nuts!

[Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE]

The IRS has the transaction volume of a mid-sized bank, running similar infrastructure. Those banks typically have an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) budget of ~$20M/yr.

The IRS has a ~$3.5B O&M budget (which doesn’t include an additional $3.7B modernization budget). ~80% of that O&M budget goes to contractors.

[Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE]

There is a pattern across all agencies where IT “modernization” contracts do not pay for outcomes/performance; instead, they pay for time. Therefore, the incentive is for contractors to “never finish,” resulting in incredible waste.

As an example, IRS modernization started in 1990 to be delivered in 1996. Today, the work is not complete and the contractors say it’s still 5 years away. 29 years behind schedule and ~$15b over budget. Everyone loses, except the government contractors.

This must change. This week, the IRS froze ~$1.5B in modernization contracts, none of which have any effect on tax filings. All of those contracts will then either be cancelled or the contract terms will be changed to pay-for-performance.

Stuck after accident on I-26 about 20 miles west of Columbia SC for over 90 miles with no movement. Wonder what the status is and when 1 lane can open for traffic. @SCDPS_PIO Please advise. Reaching the end of my rope soon…
