BIDEN PROMISES: WE WON'T USE BEEFED-UP IRS AGAINST YOU. Republicans and conservatives have loudly protested the Democratic plan to expand the IRS vastly, and especially its enforcement arm, with an infusion of $80 billion included in the misleadingly named Inflation Reduction Act. The $80 billion is, by many accounts, far more than the IRS needs, and Republicans are suspicious about how it will be spent. Last year, the Treasury Department said the money would be used to hire 86,852 new IRS employees over the next 10 years, the largest group of them assigned to auditing Americans' tax returns.
- Republicans cannot shake their harmful Trump addiction Dan HannanFor most of my life, I was a bigger supporter of the U.S. Republicans than of my own party, the British Conservatives.
