Understaffing the IRS
Why is this so important to the GOP that they'd tank the economy to achieve it?
shareThey and their rich friends must be cheating on their taxes.
shareMust be? They are. Their donors are ordering them to gut it.

Why does the IRS need 87,000 new, armed employees?

First of all, it was 87,000 hired over the next 10 years.
Please give a citation that says they will be armed.
Why are you afraid of accountants?
Why do the accountants need guns?
shareThey don't. Why do you think they will be armed? Listening to CPAC propaganda?
shareA simple google search shows they have a significant arsenal and do armed raids, along with recruitment videos and ads mentioning armed training.
shareHasn't the IRS always had armed agents as part of it's criminal investigation teams? Why should now be any different?
shareA simple Google search shows the funding wasn't to hire 87,000 armed agents.
shareRefunds were delayed by months (sometimes half a year!!!) and not enough staff to answer questions by phone. They were severely understaffed. I'm glad Pres. Biden fixed the IRS.
shareI got my refund in 10 days. we dont need 87,000 IRS agents bilking Americans.
shareFor many years, I received mine in September or October. When I checked online, there were many people in the same position. It's obvious they needed to hire more employees. Thank you Pres. Biden!
I don't believe you pay any taxes which is the reason you're unaware of the problem.
I have always received mine in a timely fashion even back in the dark ages using snail mail. if you do it online and there are no red flags then you will get your refund within 2 weeks.
I wish. A 1/3 of my paycheck goes to the Gov.
Really? One-third? What was it before Biden became President?
share"If you mail your tax return, it may take 6 months or more to process."

I told you so!
"A 1/3 of my paycheck goes to the Gov."
You're not in that tax bracket.

Anyway, blame the rich. Starting with Reagan, then continuing with Bush and Trump, GOP cut taxes for the rich and tax burdened the middle and working-classes. Typical of pro-rich conservatives.
Biden lowered taxes for common folks with his Child Tax Credit, but the GOP nixed it since they only want their rich donors paying less.

That tells us you don't make a lot of money.
shareIncidentally, the bipartisan agreement leaves $70 billion for hiring new IRS staff. Which is still the biggest increase in funding the IRS has ever gotten. I suppose that clever Kevin negotiated that the new armed agents don't get any bullets.
share"the biggest increase in funding the IRS has ever gotten."
EVERY increase in funding for EVERY government program is ALWAYS the BIGGEST increase. Just disregard inflation adjusted dollars, percentages, etc. to provide any context...
Got your nose right up Uncle Sam's rear end, eh?
shareRepublicans are even more of puppets than Democrats are, and the super-rich do not want to pay taxes. Crippling the IRS ensure that they can only go after regular people with small incomes and investments. The rich will continue to lie cheat and do whatever they want. It is a hierarchical social mechanism of control.
