Biden wants to double the size of the IRS???

Biden wants to add another 80,000 more people to the 80,000 people already working for the IRS.

Doing the math, the IRS will then have a payroll of about $120Billion a year and a per taxpayer ratio of one IRS employee for every 1,299 taxpayers.

Help me understand the thinking of Democrats who went head over heels to defund the police yet want to double the IRS?

You are not a priority but your money is.

A local man was recently indicted for allegedly defrauding Medicare for $175 million. Like how could someone collect that much money from the government without raising all sorts of red flags? But I'm aware of a few other frauds where crooks got away with stuffing hundreds of millions in their pockets for years before being nabbed. Or look at the fleecing of the FDIC and US Treasury a few decades ago when crooks walked off with almost a TRILLION dollars.

But we haven't heard anything about Biden wanting to hire more people to investigate medicare fraud, or the other the other monies shelled out bu the government. Why the taxpayers?
