#1 ...The Usual Suspects are already screaming something to the effect that since these new IRS agents were going to hoover up more than a hundred billion dollars, not spending the $72B would actually result in a net loss of IIRC $124B USD.

#2 Spending more money to save money is always the answer.

Having the agents be firearms qualified is a bonus.

#6 #3 B, where is the graft (election contributions, et al) in that? It's all a protection racket scheme. Talk up 'soaking the rich', then the J street hustlers and congresscritters write work arounds for their 'donors'. Money to be made.

#7 Based on McConnell’s work, this may have to go on the growing debt ceiling negotiation pile along with pipeline approval, Reservist Vax mandates etc.

#11 They can roll stuff back like that? I can think of a whole bunch of other things they should roll back...like funding for the FBI.
