IRS inability to hire, retain workers could upend Biden’s revenue plans
Washington Times ^ | 8/23/2022 | Jeff Mordock

Who wants to be an Internal Revenue Service enforcement agent? Turns out, hardly anyone.

President Biden’s plan to boost government revenue over the next decade by adding 87,000 IRS agents is on a collision course with the hard reality that they can’t even recruit enough workers now to meet existing staff levels, according to recent studies.

That could seriously imperil Mr. Biden’s goal of using the IRS to generate $124 billion more in government revenue through 2031 to pay for portions of the $740 billion climate, tax, and health care bill he signed into law last week.

This is nothing but a ponzi scheme for the IRS TO GET FUNDS and not hire any one; but give raises and bonuses to current employees. IRS still using old computer software, no mention of any upgrades. It’s also scare tactic to ensure that taxpayers pay up and don’t cheat.

I think it was a debate on the floor of the House before the vote was taken that I heard about CPA firms not being able to find any qualified CPAs.....I don’t think it was Bongino. We or at least I have to cut down on the TV watching as it’s just too hard (at my age) to keep programs/people straight.

However, in the debate that I recall, it was pointed out that computers hadn’t been upgraded in 40-50 years and some of the $$$ in the bill was for that. I didn’t know there were computers 40-50 years ago...AND that some of the $$ were earmarked to COLLECT the taxes that have been long overdue and in the meantime, they haven’t done anything about that? Always questions without answers.

Um…they’re not looking for accounting and finance. They’re looking for tyrants and killers. Lots of psychos in the younger generations.

It was one of the better typos I’ve seen for quite a while, at least since somebody on a cooking thread referred to “shite vinegar”.

You’re saying the Freudians were slippery?

It’d be nice that the stigma of working for the hated IRS would be a deterrent, but eventually they’ll find the filth they need to fill their ranks.

Sneaking across the border every day.
