I communicated with one of my colleagues just a couple days ago, and I said, how's things going? He says, we're just trying to figure it all out, picking up where you guys left off. So they're all scrambling.

I was actually working for the Internal Revenue Service, the infamous IRS.

Well, I'm a veteran, and I love to be able to serve my country. So as an Air Force veteran, I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. I fell in love with the idea and the notion of serving in a greater capacity because it's not about me. It's about what does this program or this service offer the country as a whole.

There's seven IT divisions within the agency altogether.

Yeah. Why so many? Because there's so many different divisions, they all support different functions within the agency.

Yes. What are we spending on? How much are we spending here? Do we need to spend money over here? Why are you spending it this way? So it allows for people who are actually in charge of the IT budget to be able to identify where they're spending their money and if it makes sense.

It's upsetting. It's very upsetting. We are supposed to have, in my opinion, a fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers, right? So our job is to be able to properly protect taxpayer money and use it for the benefit of the country.

Well, I mean, politically, I've supported traditionally Republicans. I voted for Trump three times, full disclosure. And I think it's important that you don't have a bloated government. And I do think it's important that you have accountability and that you identify what's working and what's not working.

And so, yes, I think the concept of what Doge is set out to do and was set up to do is a good thing. And it falls in line with what my job is about.

I was under the impression that it would mean that we would be sticking around to help the IRS support and implement what Doge is looking to do. Now, I didn't think that Doge was going to come in like a bull in a china shop and just start throwing everything out. I figured it was a matter of, okay, we're going to go in and figure out what's working, what's not working.

And in the process, if they uncover some sort of fraud, waste, and abuse, they would identify it and nip it in the bud. But instead, it was more, let's just go ahead and just throw the baby out with the bathwater.
