That makes no sense at all. The $85 billion were INCREASES in the budget. Employees who retired were already in the budget. There was already money there for replacements. This funding is not for replacements but is additional funding for new employees. The figure given was 85,000 new employees. There is no way the IRS was under staffed by 85,000 people. That is total nonsense.
Fire em all. Half of em haven’t paid their own taxes. Bunch of criminal hacks. Lock em up!
In 2021 the IRS had approximately 79,000 employees. Adding 85,000 new positions represents a 207% increase. This kind of increase in the workforce is unreasonable by any measure. This is just another example of government run amok.
Trump taking care of business at Davos. Making America proud again. Bringing us from the brink of destruction to the top economic country in the world in 3 days. That’s how it’s done!
I loved watching the Q & A session this morning. He definitely let the entire world know he means business as far as tariffs, climate change, and EU interference in business project approvals. Also put the EU on notice that if they continue to fine U.S. companies they will end up paying a heavy price in additional tariffs.
Yes it is unreasonable considering this is more employees than the agency has EVER had by a large margin. Did you even think to consider how this number was even arrive at? What was the basis? At first it was argued that these were replacements, but that was obviously a lie since you don't have to use new money to replace money already in the budget.
