Part I also notes the most visible manifestations of the intersection of these trends: decreases in key IRS activities and results almost across the board, with consequent substantial losses to the federal fisc. At the same time, the resources allocated to the IRS by successive Congresses and Administrations-never fully adequate-have declined in inflation-adjusted terms and, in recent years, even in nominal terms.
The workload of the IRS-both in revenue collection and especially in adventitious missions Congress has chosen to assign to the IRS-has burgeoned in recent decades. Part I of this article describes this intersection, which has reached crisis proportions. Whether that characterization will remain accurate in the future will depend on how the IRS deals, and is allowed to deal, with intersecting trends threatening to cripple the ability of the IRS to perform its core mission of revenue collection. 11 In him we were also chosenhaving been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment -to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will- 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. Ephesians 1:3-11 New International Version (NIV) Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
