Who wants to be a millionaire?
Forget answering a bunch of random trivia questions, all you have to do is uncover the lost IRS e-mails to and from former official Lois Lerner.
Two Republican congressmen are so angry about the missing IRS e-mails that they think the U.S. government should offer a hefty reward to anyone who finds them – a $1 million reward.
Reps. Bill Flores (R-Tex.) and Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) introduced legislation Wednesday to offer such a prize. A lesser sum, $500,000, would go to anyone who figures out if specific agency officials were involved in purposely destroying the e-mails.
Now, these are very conservative lawmakers, so they’re not about to just give away federal dollars. So where would the money come from, you ask? The IRS budget. Oh, and until the e-mails are found, all IRS employee salaries would be cut by 20 percent.
