@karla Whatever bureaucrat was responsible for the decision to award that contract should be fired immediately.

I fully support that form of firing.

Best line from the article:
"I was initially under the impression that my staff was sharing a copy of the Onion, until I realized this story was, in fact, true," [US House of Representatives member Earl] Blumenauer wrote.

Also worth noting...
"In the wake of one of the most massive data breaches in a decade, it’s irresponsible for the IRS to turn over millions in taxpayer dollars to a company that has yet to offer a succinct answer on how at least 145 million Americans had personally identifiable information exposed," Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) told POLITICO in a statement.
The committee's ranking member, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), piled on: "The Finance Committee will be looking into why Equifax was the only company to apply for and be rewarded with this. I will continue to take every measure possible to prevent taxpayer data from being compromised as this arrangement moves forward.”
When you get a Utah Republican and a Oregon Democrat both coming after you... you fucked up somewhere

At this point, I am almost expecting the Senate to vote to have 6000 EquiFax executives crucified along the Beltway as a warning to errant corporate managers not to repeat this.

@scholrlea This reminds me of the old joke:
Q: What do you call 1000 lawyers drowned in the depths of the ocean?
A: A good start.
