The Republican proposal to eliminate billions of dollars in IRS funding will pile more than $100 billion onto federal deficits, according to a new estimate from Congress’s official budget scorekeeper.



Republicans first order of business is to increase the deficit!!

You must not have been paying attention when your commie buddies recently voted to dramatically expand the IRS..at HUGE expense.

Speaking of massive debt increases...how much $$ was that recent budget total your pals passed?

They are also proposing cutting 87,000 jobs. But hey it scores political points with their uneducated base so who cares about jobs or the defecit?

Just sneakin' around....
During floor debate on Friday and throughout the last week, Republicans have claimed the hiring would “double the size” of the IRS and that new audits would target low and middle-income Americans. The Biden administration has forcefully pushed back on that suggestion, with IRS saying it could lose as many as 50,000 employees through attrition over the next few years and most of the new hires would simply fill those vacancies. A Treasury Department official called the claim that the hiring would double the size of the IRS “absolutely false.”


"A large portion of these hires will fill vacancies of employees who have left or who will in coming years leave or retire from the agency," the official said, adding that those employees would work not just in enforcement but in IT and customer service as well.
So.... shouldn't they have funded for 37,000 jobs as the funding already existed for 50,000 of them, and only 37,000 are 'new'?

:roflmao:

OMG you are such a bot :lmao:

"Erm....by cutting spending we'll increase the deficit! :dork: "

:roflmao:

NEWSFLASH: All those billionaires you people think the IRS agents are going to catch pay big money to politicians and lawyers to ensure they keep their tax bite nice and low. There are a zillion ways to do it that people like you and me don't have access to, unless you have a "charitable foundation" and access to billionaires and foreign entities with which you can exchange laundered untaxable money. I don't, but maybe you do.

Do you honestly think Nancy and Joey and the rest of them are going to give their hard-grifted money to the freaking IRS?

:roflmao:

Let me see if I understand this right -

THESE are the 87,000 new IRS agents the Dems wanted to hire -DOUBLING the size of the agency in a ridiculous dream to "get" more revenue - the GOP decided NOT to go through with it.

And NOT spending the money now ADDS to the deficit? This is why Dems should never be in charge of spending your tax dollars - when they are deprived of money they want to spend, it's a cut.

You know what IS cool? They're at least going to TRY and bring the Fair Tax to the floor. That would be outstanding.

Bushy has long-ago proven to be dumber than a stump. So all of that went right over his sloped head.

Unfortunately it will be the swamp rats deciding. If it was on the ballot I'm thinking the voters would go for it overwhelmingly, but the rats are not going to agree to the Fair Tax because then they'd all have to kick in.

Oh Biden’s already said he’ll veto it. And the Dems will never let it pass the Senate.

I am just glad it’s being taken seriously by SOMEONE there. Maybe in a couple years when it can PASS it’ll be brought up again.

If I may ...
For your consideration...

If the federal government can print money anytime it wants, then why is there a federal income/wage tax?
