NY Times: "Outsourcing at IRS Inept"

Tom Shoop, blogging over at FedBlog, made an excellent point about the NY Times coverage last Friday of an overlooked hearing in the Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee. The Times headline continues to blacken the already quite black eye the IRS had developed over the private tax collection program: Taxpayer Advocate Says Outsourcing at I.R.S. Is Inept.

Let's hope Tom is correct that this type of mainstream attention will signal the beginning of the end of the wasteful and dangerous program.
