"Is there an army of federal lawyers involved in distributing that money? Probably more like some code in some program."

I don't know the degree to which this is the case with EITC, but automation doesn't mean there aren't armies of lawyers involved - they may be engaged fighting over the shape of that code.

(They may, of course, not be. There being automation doesn't imply their presence either.)
