Does he think that that with the number of audit staff at the IRS being decreased (which is where the brunt of the IRS staff was reduced) this will decrease the number of people and companies cheating? Historically the audit staff has brought in three times the amount of their costs to do an audit.

Decrease waste and money - unnecessary travel between Washington and Palm Beach - at three million a pop.
