CLAY JONES - Let's Cut Out the Middle Man
By Clay Jones
POLITICAL CARTOONIST
Not that the Internal Revenue Service is anybody’s favorite government agency, it’s still news when the Fredericksburg branch closes. That’s what the Department of Government Efficiency announced would be happening this past week when it canceled the lease on the property it currently works out of. When the facility will close, what will happen to the those who work there, and what it will mean for people who visit the site to address issues is part of the great unknown at this moment. As usual, however, Clay Jones brings a different eye to the announcement.
