Republicans like Obama who reduced funding for the IRS multiple times while in office?

Odd that I remember him pushing to increase their budget then: http://www.govexec.com/management/2016/02/obama-would-hike-i...

In general, it does seem true that Republicans haven't been interested in funding the IRS, even though they seem to believe testimony that more funding would increase government income.

Did he reduce it, or was it simply reduced while he was in office. Because he had a Republican Congress for 75% of his presidency.

Obama had a republican Congress since 2010, which is when the IRS cuts started.
