New Republican House Votes To ‘Repeal The Democrats’ Army Of 87,000 IRS Agents’

House Republicans, who are now in control of the legislative body, voted Monday evening to cut billions of dollars to the Internal Revenue Service after the agency received a significant boost in funding in the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who just was elected to the position after 15 rounds of voting, hailed the passage of the bill by a 221-210 vote.

“Government should work for you, not against you. As part of the House Republican Commitment to America, I promised we would vote to repeal the Democrats’ army of 87,000 IRS agents on our very first day in the majority,” McCarthy said in a statement. “Promises made. Promises kept.”
