We know reckless spending and overregulation led us to the painful point we are currently at, yet Democrats jammed this bill through, showering their special interests with taxpayer dollars, said Congressman Fitzgerald. Additionally, I cannot support funding for the IRS to hire 87,000 new agents who will target middle-class and low-income Americans with audits.” BACKGROUND The Inflation Reduction Act is a budget reconciliation bill that contains $745 billion in new spending, increases taxes by $599 billion, and gives away over $350 billion on "Green New Deal" initiatives. ### Congressman Scott Fitzgerald was sworn in to the 117th Congress on January 3, 2021 and is proud to represent Wisconsin’s Fifth Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
