McCarthy: ‘The Very First Day, the First Thing We’re Going to Do Is Repeal the 87,000 IRS Agents’

Jeff Poor 31 Dec 2022

Friday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy teased Congress’ immediate upcoming actions to start 2023.

First up, according to the California Republican, after electing the Speaker of the House was to repeal the 87,000 IRS agents provision passed by Congress earlier this year.

“Great question – the first thing we have to do is elect our Speaker. We can’t do anything until we elect that Speaker,” he said. “And if you watch, the White House is actually pushing back on our investigations, saying we’re not going to give you anything till you get this solved. So, we need to be able to move forward with that.”

“Then, on the very first day, the first thing we’re going to do is repeal the 87,000 IRS agents,” McCarthy continued. “Another reason why the Democrats are mad at me, I think – government should be here to help you, not to go after you, then we’re going to secure our border. You’ve got to secure this border, the millions of people coming across, the fentanyl that’s killing our children. We need to work on our economy. That means making us energy-independent. We need to hold this government accountable. Where’s the origin of COVID began? Find out what this Biden family had done in the process. Make sure the FBI is not going after Americans but actually going after crime. We’ve got so much work behind us, and we need to start on the very first day.”

*YAWN*

You know all of this falls right in the memory hole the minute his speakership is secured.

Don't ever fall for promises from the stump. Any stump.

Why didn't you repeal the 87,000 agents as part of the $1.7 trillion in new spending you just passed?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Great suggestion!

It's not like any bill that gets passed in the House is going to see the light of day in the Senate, especially since the power of the purse was taken away from the House with the omnibus bill.

Because the Pubs want the tax revenue just as much as the Rats and don't care if they destroy medium to small sized businesses in the process.

Nonsense ... is right.

What a fool this guy is.

What might work a little better... delete any future funding for "the 87,000".
Then keep cutting the IRS budget until they're dismissed.

Think the House Republicans would have the intestinal fortitude to do this?

Or the Preezy of the United Steezy?  Thanks to Turtle the money's already appropriated, and a defunding would be subject to a Veto even if it passed the Senate.

They're not.  Which is why McCarthy feels safe to push this vote.  He knows it won't go anywhere.  Look for the GOP House to pass all kinds of bills like this.

Uhhhh,how do you "repeal" people?

And even if you do find a way to "repeal" their jobs,they will still remain on the Civil Serviced payroll if they have reached "career status",so you are either going to have to find some other job for them to do,or pay them to stay home.

The only people you can take off the payrolls by ending their jobs are the temporary employees.

Regardless of ANY pens, if the house refuses to appropriate there is no money to spend. The question is will they refuse, and I personally doubt it.

@Bigun

They won't have any choice but to pass a spending bill with "graft checks" in it because the RINO's will join with their Dim brothers to create a voting majority.

Modern politics is a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your back" world amongst the professional pols.

Which is WHY we need an outsider that isn't a member of "the machine" sitting in the WH.

One more term for Trump,and then two for DeSantis seems to be the only hope and only chance America has.

He's not an 'outsider' @sneakypete ... And without support in Congress, they will just box him in again, just like the last time, and virtually all he could do would be temporary again by executive order... Just like last time.

No gain. Guaranteed.

And all for the low low price of another twenty-friggin-trillion dollars  *****rollingeyes***** **nononono*

The money is already appropriated, thanks to Mitch the bitch.

The only leverage the House has left, thanks to the Senate establishment Pubs is the debt ceiling. I don't know when that issue is going to come up but I do believe McCarthy isn't tough enough to shut down he govt.
