IRS Under Fire for Line Dancing and Loads of Misc. Expenses

Can the IRS’s situation become more sadly laughable? At this point, I’m beginning to think not.  Released this weekend was a video of a line dancing instructor teaching some IRS employees to dance. Apparently the IRS has spent somewhere near $50 million to hold at least 220 conferences for employees between 2010 and 2012.  A report by the Treasury Department’s inspector general about conference spending is set to be released tomorrow. The department issued a statement Sunday saying the administration “has already taken aggressive and dramatic action to reduce conference spending.”
