Another Republican lie is born

Let’s consider the lie, endlessly repeated by Republicans and the Fox News-led echo chamber, that new legislation enacted by Democrats funds the hiring of “87,000 armed IRS agents.” Like the “death panel” fabrication during the Obamacare debate, this is a whole-cloth invention designed to stoke paranoia.

Sen. Rick Scott (Fla.), head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, sent an open letter last week warning Americans not to work for the IRS. He falsely claimed that the Democrats’ climate, energy and tax bill would add “roughly 87,000 agents” at the IRS, creating “an IRS super-police force”:

“The IRS made it very clear that one of the ‘major duties’ of these new positions is to ‘be willing to use deadly force.’ … The IRS is making it very clear that you not only need to be ready to audit and investigate your fellow hardworking Americans, your neighbors and friends, you need to be ready and, to use the IRS’s words, willing, to kill them.”

The IRS certainly isn’t adding 87,000 armed agents. It isn’t even adding 87,000 agents. In fact, it’s not even adding 87,000 employees.

When you figure in attrition (current funding doesn’t let the IRS fill all vacancies), Treasury officials tell me, the expected increase in personnel would be more like 40,000, over the course of a decade — which would merely restore IRS staffing to around the 117,000 it had in 1990.


Only about 6,500 of the new hires would be “agents.” The rest would be customer-service representatives, data specialists and the like.

And fewer than 1 percent of the new hires would be armed.


One of the great mysteries of modern times is why the tard herd keeps going back to the same propagandists over and over and over to be lied to.

They BEG to be lied to, and so they DESERVE to be lied to.
What difference does it make, if it's one brownshirts or a thousand?

Look at the absolute bullshit you believe.
And it's fact, so Republican's OUGHT to believe it.

Never forget that Guno is a moron and a hack.

Trump is saying he'll announce his candidacy on November 14.

If that were true - which it isn't - what would it have to do with the 87,000 IRS agents Xi's Biden regime is adding over 10 years, which I've proven is fact- despite Guno's psychotic lies?

Guno is lying.

Guno lies incessantly. The denials by the Reich fact changers are based on the "targeting the middle class" language. Even pathological liars "Snopes" doesn't deny that the Green Raw Deal funds 87,000 IRS agents over 10 years. They just try and equivocate that "these will be mostly in cyber crimes." Which of course Snopes has no way of knowing - but that is an "integrity free" outfit.

If you add up the lies by both parties to win, it comes in at a figure higher than the national debt.

Republicans believe this tripe.
Why does the IRS have 4600 guns and 5 million rounds of ammunition?

Any breakdown of what those 87,000 employees will be doing?

There won't be 87,000. That's a lie. Some IRS agents are aging out. They have to be replaced.

You upset the GOP spun it into a pre-election issue?

I saw a news story that said the house killed it.
It's part of the bill Manchin got his way on, the inflation reduction act, it passed both houses in August,12th and 16th I think.
Manchin wigged out after he found out some of the provisions in it.

Its the side effect of folks without actual principles. They feel fully justified in lying (or not caring if their claims are true) because they accuse democrats of lying.

If you want to know what Republicans plan to do......look at what they are accusing Democrats of. They are laying their justification for the very thing they 'condemn'.
