If we had specifically defunded highway patrol that was net-revenue-positive, yes.

Republican defunding of the IRS is literally insane: reform by cutting enforcement.

- It rewards people who cheat on their taxes.

- It costs the government more money that it saves, because IRS investment is net revenue positive.

But then, the modern Republican party seems more concerned with being the party of 'law(s I agree with) and order (for people who aren't me).'
