Original Note:
While the House GOP did vote to try to cut IRS funding, it's inaccurate to claim that the funding is for 87,000 "new agents." The IRS has ~82,000 employees today of whom half are slated to retire over the next 5 years. The funding is needed to address attrition & training. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-republicans-set-pass-law-block-irs-funding/story?id=96319864
