The original comment was confusing - they're getting $60B, and also have a mandate to modernize. Only a minority of that money is actually being spent on the modernization. Most of it is being spent on additional auditing of tax returns - it's well known that every $1 spent on audits brings in more than $1 of additional revenue, and we're nowhere near the breakeven point. It's expected that the additional auditing will pay for itself several times over - even if you count the modernization spend against it as well, the government will see a large ROI on this $60B (they're expecting additional revenue of over $200B from the extra auditing).
