80,000 New Agents, The IRS is set to get billions for audit enforcement
2022-08-12
Washington (CNN)The Internal Revenue Service is finally about to get the additional funding its officials have long been waiting for.

The Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act calls for delivering nearly $80 billion to the IRS over 10 years. After months of negotiations over the sweeping spending package, the Senate passed the bill earlier this month, sending the legislation to the House for a vote before it reaches President Joe Biden's desk.

The funding would help support the work of the IRS -- including but not limited to audits -- and in turn, is expected to bring in more federal tax revenue to help offset the cost of the Democrats' plan to lower prescription drug costs and combat climate change.

#5  Recruitment problems right off. This is the dream world of a Democrat. Political leanings and social media history will bar most. So you are left with Antifa types who are anti social thug types who for many don't want a job. Emphasis on minority and females. So place those you have given a pass, immigrants; no degree, no drug tests, no basic formal education, no green card, no requirements as applied to American citizens.

#4  For one year. Appropriations are still an annual event for Congress and sometimes even longer as they seem to be unable to do the one job they're elected for. In Constitution V.2 include the statement that "If Congress fails to pass individual appropriations for each Department and Agency of the Executive and Judicial Branch within one calendar year, all members are barred from reelections, appointments, or contracts for 10 years."

Just as President Trump permitted the USAF to give birth to US Space Force. The IRS could be also be spinning off an all new entity.

Could be "Audit Enforcement." It could be something else entirely.
