Fischbach Stands Against Reckless Government Spending | 2022-08-12 | 2022 | 2022-08 | Republican | House | MN | Michelle Fischbach | F000470 | fischbach.house.gov | fischbach | https://fischbach.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. - Today, the House passed the latest tax-and-spend legislation from the Democrats, the "Inflation Enhancement Act". This bill includes a plan to send 87,000 new IRS agents to shake loose change from Americans to pay for their spending spree, which sling-shot this country into the record inflation we are facing today. "This bill is not designed to help the country recover. It is designed to send an IRS army after low- and middle-income Americans so Democrats can pay for their Green New Deal ambitions," said Rep. Fischbach. “With this new staff, the IRS will be bigger than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI, and Border Control. This new IRS army will increase audits on individuals by more than 1.2 million, nearly half of which will be on Americans making $75,000 or less per year. The bill also includes billions towards things like ‘climate justice’ and electric garbage trucks. With families everywhere struggling to make ends meet in Biden’s America, it’s unconscionable that this is where they choose to focus their efforts.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
