    The IRS agents thing is interesting. That agency has been so underfunded for so long. There is also this.

    https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/news/2022/jul/irs-seeks-transformation-new-5-year-plan.html#:~:text=An estimated 63%, 52,000 of,all federal agencies of 5.8%.

    My understanding is the 87,000 hires is over a decade..... might be just a lot of replacing folks that are retiring and getting back up to levels before their hiring freezes over the last decade of being defunded.

    It is so funny watching Republicans kick and scream about it and try to use it politically.

    I still remember when America came under attack.

    It started when Trump became President.

    Do the people defending Trump and rallying against the FBI realize Donald Trump put Christopher Wray in the position as Director of the FBI?

    Do the people defending Trump and rallying against the FBI realize that Trump has been naked this entire time?

    Even if it is just getting them back to pre-defunding levels? I mean, I posted that they anticipate 55k positions will be people retiring. So i'm not convinced they are actually hiring 87,000 new positions over the next decade. That seems like a GOP scare tactic.

    Some of the IRS agent positions bring back a return on investment.

    Trump called his fixers and cleaners in Florida and told them to "abort! abort" and DeSantis called in the feds to find out if an abortion was being carried out.
