Mention that you are not American and will work 90 hours for 40 hours of pay every week and it will buy your family back home the nicest hut in the slum.

maybe generously you could set up some kinds of virtuous cycles that would feedback to big numbers

>automate the IRS -> fewer people waste time doing taxes -> enforcement improves -> it becomes harder to cheat on taxes -> fewer people waste their time trying to cheat on taxes

But I still don't think they'll get anywhere near the trillions they claim.

It is a widely believed myth that the federal bureaucracy is bloated and overstaffed. This is not the case: there are basically the same number of full-time federal employees today as there were back in 1969, about 2.3 million. This is despite the fact that the government now disburses more than five times as many dollars as it did back then. In fact, you can argue that the government is understaffed, due to relentless pressure over the decades to keep headcounts down. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, for example, oversees the spending of $1.4 trillion, or one fifth of the entire federal budget, with a staff of only 6,400 full-time employees. These workers have to check for Medicare fraud, evaluate and certify tens of thousands of health providers, and make sure that payments to tens of millions of Americans are made in a timely manner. If you cut this staff, the amount of fraud and waste in the Medicare system is likely to go up, not down. The Office of Refugee Resettlement, which looks after the millions of refugees entering the country, has a staff of 150. By increasing the staff at the Internal Revenue Service, the government is expected to take in an additional $561 billion over the next decade.

IIRC the reason they're able to keep Medicare employee headcount so low is that most of the administrative overhead is outsourced to private companies. (And not just for Medicare Advantage. Standard Medicare too.)

Fukuyama here is giving the glowies credit for the work done by the REAL American heroes: insurance companies. #justiceforbrian !neolibs
