It is part of the Treasury Dept and reports to Ways and Means, the House, Congress and the president... As far as I know, all of those bodies can reshape it through their actions. They can disarm the IRS. They can resize it. Just because it's been turned into a military force doesn't mean it can't become the accounting branch again. It just takes the will of government.
So, hopefully, a new administration makes this nonsense go away. It will be a popular move with voters, so I would think there would be motivation to cut them back down. See what happens.
you're right, there should be motivation, but you're also right that it takes the will of government. I think Trump definitely would put a stop to it.
Unless they invoke "no take-backsies"
