From the article: "Politico reports a Republican congressman, who is also a tax writer, destroyed President Donald Trump’s pick for head of the IRS and the Social Security Administration.
“This is unacceptable,” Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) told IRS CEO Frank Bisignano after Bisignano offered vague answers to lawmakers’ inquiries about tax-filing season and Trump’s Big Beautiful bill’s impact on it, and other issues.
Bisignano got his dressing down at a Wednesday hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee.
“You really need to come in here and answer the questions that these members ask you directly, and saying ‘I’ll come see you in your office,’ even to me, on very basic questions that I’m asking you, is really upsetting,” continued Miller. “I am very embarrassed right now for my side.”
Trump created Bisignano’s position as “CEO” of the IRS to circumvent the Senate confirmation process for agency nominees. But now, even GOP lawmakers appear concerned that Bisignano’s appointment should have been scrutinized. Unlike other IRS leaders, Politico reports that Bisignano does not have a tax background, and he is currently also serving as head of the Social Security Administration.
When nominating the former Fiserv CEO as Social Security administrator last year, Trump argued Bisignano “takes troubled entities and turns them around.” But current Fiserv chief Mike Lyons warned that Bisignano had made major missteps as CEO, overinflating sales projections and relying on short-term cost-cutting before selling his stock for $500 million."
Yeah right, only "the best people".
