Dispatch from the Affordable Care front:
The Internal Revenue Service says it will need an battalion of 1,054 new auditors and staffers and new facilities at a cost to taxpayers of more than $359 million in fiscal 2012 just to watch over the initial implementation of President Obama's healthcare reforms. Among the new corps will be 81 workers assigned to make sure tanning salons pay a new 10 percent excise tax. Their cost: $11.5 million.
There will be 81 people who actually have to go through life identifying themselves as "tanning salon auditor." Your fiscally responsible government at work.
