Biden Tax Plan Leans on Banks to Help Find Unreported Income - WSJ
The proposal would require banks to report annual account inflows and outflows to the Internal Revenue Service.
This is a terrible idea. Banks already automatically report any deposit over $10,000, and have mechanisms for reporting suspicious groups of deposits just under the reporting threshold.
The IRS getting receipts from every bank account in America? This would be a massive intrusion on the privacy and an unfathomable data trove that would prove irresistible target for foreign hackers.

After weeks of searching, I finally found a pocket knife that’s safe for travel.
The BladeHQ exclusive CRKT Pilar has micarta handles and D2 steel. It’s a sheepsfoot blade that measures 2.4”. It’s also cheap enough that if I lose it, I won’t care.
That’ll work!

CDC Eases Face Mask Guidelines for Fully Vaccinated People Outdoors - WSJ
“The message is clear: ‘You’re vaccinated, guess what? You get to return to a more normal lifestyle. If you’re not vaccinated, you’re still in danger,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said Tuesday in an interview with CBS This Morning.
I read a news clip from AP reporting on comments around the COVID vaccine from Sen. Ron Johnson. It was less than a paragraph, and twice emphasized that Sen. Johnson has “no medical expertise or background.”
I wonder if they’ll do the same for HHS Secretary Bacerra, an attorney, whose healthcare experience is derived from suing the Little Sisters of the Poor.
