“Never trust a man who lays his hand on his heart when he assures you of anything,” goes the old axiom. That’s why I never trust a Democrat who makes any promise ever about a federal agency or program.

Take Medicare. In 1966 when Medicare began, it cost $3 billion. The House Ways and Means Committee estimated that Medicare would cost about $12 billion by 1990. Instead, it cost $107 billion and today costs the government close to a trillion dollars.

So when Joe Biden and the Democrats assured Americans and Republicans in Congress that the $80 billion the president wanted to augment the IRS tax-collecting ability was only going to target “the rich,” everyone with two brain cells working knew it was a lie.
