So in looking at one of the "Fact Checking" sites talking about Armed agents. It was noted that the IRS currently has about 81,000 total agents as of Fiscal '21.

Are you saying that they were going to have close to 78,000(about 96%) of their agents retire in the next few years?

Perhaps you can give us a hard number on the definition of the words "most of those".

And that is exactly why this "plan" is so important. Is the plan to disallow abortion after the first trimester?
Once we can read the plan, every voter can draw their own conclusion. I don't vote with the majority - I vote for what I believe in.

Besides, most of those IRS agents are to replace retiring boomers, so at least that cohort is not an addition to the budget.
What type of taxes need to be collected the arent currently?

Some more details of the 'Commitment to America' have been released. In fact, the Republicans created a separate website for this purpose: https://www.republicanleader.gov/commitment/

It seems the Republicans have jumped on the bandwagon, and have made their documents available in Spanish.

Nothing wrong with that.
The more information and the more details the better.

My two important issues, inflation and the border, are addressed in the Republican's new version of the 1994 'Contract with America'. They have my vote!

From the article:

I find the Democratic Party's response to this to be hilarious!



Apparently, lowering inflation and securing the border is "an extreme MAGA agenda". No, Speaker Pelosi, it is an American agenda, as every American, Republican, Democrat, and Independent, is suffering from inflation...
Hmm, 1994. So they've had 12 years to do something and not done it but now they're really going to do it rather and definitely not have a guy that hires illegals running the circus. $3.0 TRILLION dollar deficit is how they fight inflation.

Long road to recover for Republicans.

Hmm, how exactly are they going to "crack down on leftist prosecutors"? That sounds a bit dubious. Shall we call this McCarthyism?
