House Republicans pass legislation trying to block new IRS funding
House Republicans are poised on Monday night to make good on a campaign promise by approving a bill that would zero-out IRS funding from the Inflation Reduction Act

So you guys are for getting rid of jobs? Hmm weird. Also "army" of agents? LOL. You guys are so dramatic.
This is what those 87K would have been: "A Treasury Department report from May 2021 estimates the extra money would allow the agency to hire around 87,000 new employees — which could include revenue agents and customer service and IT staff — by 2031." That doesn't sound like an "army" nor very intimidating at all. Add in the IRS has been underfunded for years, has a processing system more than 50 years old and a backlog of millions of unprocessed paper filings, you'd think that people would welcome the IRS getting more support.
Oh but wait - they were going to have agents going after the wealthy and big businesses that have been evading taxes for years. Makes sense.
