The claim about Biden hiring 87,000 new agents has been debunked many times. Hiring would have been over a decade, much of it would replace pending retirees, and many of the new employees would not be agents. Enforcement was aimed at high incomes, not Venmo payments. https://www.factcheck.org/2022/08/irs-will-target-high-income-tax-evaders-with-new-funding-contrary-to-social-media-posts/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/aug/11/kevin-mccarthy/kevin-mccarthys-mostly-false-claim-about-army-8700/ https://time.com/6204928/irs-87000-agents-factcheck-biden/ https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-irs-armed/fact-check-the-irs-is-not-hiring-thousands-of-armed-agents-job-ads-show-opening-for-specialized-unit-idUSL1N2ZT296
