In a stunning turn of events, the Internal Revenue Service will be led by none other than former Congressman Billy Long, a man famous for championing the abolition of the very agency he will now head. Let the irony sit for a moment. This is precisely the shakeup America needs. It’s about time we have a disruptor stepping into these government roles, challenging the deep-rooted inefficiencies eating away at taxpayer dollars.
Once, the IRS was untouchable, a tax gobbler feasting on hard-earned income. Now, with Long confirmed as commissioner in a bold 53-44 Senate vote, change is on the horizon. Liberals are probably squirming in their seats right now because Long is no puppet. Despite the predictable Democrat smears regarding alleged tax credit schemes—claims that Long resolutely denied—he’s proven to be an unapologetic champion of reform.

With the IRS in turmoil amid waves of retirements, layoffs, and accusations of mishandling taxpayer data, it’s clear that the time for a seasoned, forceful leader had arrived. The past month unearthed the fragility in liberal governance, with IRS acting leaders dropping out faster than a liberal at a thought-provoking debate. Whether it’s botched data agreements or corporate tussles, liberal oversight continues to falter at every turn.
And then there’s the hypocrisy. As Democrats scream outrage about Long’s connections, one has to wonder why they were silent when misdeeds were swept under the rug, especially when those align with their agenda. Democrat Ron Wyden’s whining about an “inadequate” investigation by the FBI can’t mask their party’s failures. Perhaps he should spend more time questioning Democrat scams than playing the tired old victim card.
Here’s a provocative thought: Is the IRS just the beginning? Linda McMahon at the Department of Education is touting a similar game plan—she’s ready to dismantle federal oversight, bringing education back to the states where it belongs. These appointments are a wake-up call, fortifying the Trump-era desire to dismantle bloated bureaucracies. So, the question lingers: will Washington allow real reform, or will it desperately cling to its inefficient status quo?
