"I hope that that's the first step that we have to move to an IRS that would be responsible and that would expect the American people to follow the law," said Sessions. "It's not a new idea. It's an idea that has been around the hill for a long time, and certainly for America to have a competitive marketplace in the world, we need to have a better IRS."
Meanwhile, the Republican-backed budget resolution passing the House last week includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade and anticipates another $2 trillion in spending reductions.
However, DOGE head Elon Musk says he is concerned the measure could worsen inflation, and Sessions agreed that when the debt limit is raised, care must be taken to know why that is happening and what effect it will have.
