‘Elections have consequences’
By James Poplar
Shortly after his 2009 inauguration, newly-elected President Obama met with congressional Republicans about his economic proposals. Infamously, he told them that “elections have consequences,” and, in case there was any doubt, he added, “I won.” He was right on both counts.
Looking toward next week’s election, it appears that the majority of voters in America have grown tired of the progressive agenda pushed by the Democrat Party. Perhaps President Obama now regrets this flippant remark as Republicans apparently will receive a mandate from the American people to enact their agenda and vision for the future of America.
So, what exactly will this mean and how will this shape our future? For starters, Kevin McCarthy laid out his plans when he takes the gavel as speaker of the House from the incumbent Nancy Pelosi.
“On the very first day, we’ll repeal the 87,000 new IRS agents because we think the government should be there to help you, not to go after you.” This army of IRS agents resulted from the Democrats’ “Inflation Reduction Act” which President Biden signed into law in August. This would grant an $80 billion boost to the IRS over a 10-year period, with more than half of the funds intended to help the agency crack down on tax evasion by hiring tens of thousands of agents that would more than double the agency’s current size.
