Original Note:
While it is true the IRS is not hiring 87,000 tax enforcement agents, the IRA dictates $45.6 billion of the $80 billion in funding go toward enforcement. https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/inflation_reduction_act_of_2022.pdf A 2021 IRS report indicated it could, provided $80 billion in funding, increase it's workforce by 86,852 FTEs, by 2031. https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/The-American-Families-Plan-Tax-Compliance-Agenda.pdf
