So in looking at one of the "Fact Checking" sites talking about Armed agents. It was noted that the IRS currently has about 81,000 total agents as of Fiscal '21.
Are you saying that they were going to have close to 78,000(about 96%) of their agents retire in the next few years?
Perhaps you can give us a hard number on the definition of the words "most of those".
I know this question was directed towards another, but...
The IRS currently has about 81,000 employees. They're expecting that in the next 10 years about 52,000 of those will retire. The 87,000 that they expect to hire will happen over the next decade, not all at once. That works out to an increase of about 35,000 new employees. If everything holds true with their planning, in 2033 the total number of IRS employees could be about 116,000, very roughly speaking (could be 110K, could be 120K). In any event, the 110-120K number for 2033 would be in line with the number of IRS employees that existed in the 1990's.
Also consider that in the 1990's the IRS processed about 118 million individual tax returns, and that last year the IRS processed 168 million tax returns. Automation helps, but there's probably going to be even more tax returns in ten years time.

That must give comfort and reassurance to his base of tax-receiving parasites (delusional teachers, government "workers" & greedy union thugs) that the solid gold gravy train they are on will just keep chugging right along. While the rest of America has to pay for it all.

This will be just another bad joke from the GOP. Since they don't know how to govern, they won't be able to do any of this. They are all one-trick-ponies and have the attention span of a gnat. That blue box is blue for a reason.
I find the Democratic Party's response to this to be hilarious!
Quote:
Democrats on Friday already started their attacks on McCarthy's plan and called it an "extreme MAGA agenda."
"House Republicans are doubling down on an extreme MAGA agenda: to criminalize women’s health care, to slash seniors’ Medicare (including with the repeal of the lower drug prices for seniors in the Inflation Reduction Act), and to attack our democracy," according to a press release from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Apparently, lowering inflation and securing the border is "an extreme MAGA agenda". No, Speaker Pelosi, it is an American agenda, as every American, Republican, Democrat, and Independent, is suffering from inflation...

Interesting they want to repeal 87,000 IRS agents. Most of those are to be new hires to replace retiring boomers. Here is another example of Repubs trying to cripple a federal agency so they can later say government doesn't work. Sigh! Nothing new under the sun.
Please provide your source pertaining to " most are new hires to replace retiring boomers." That doesn't appear to be consistent with the Democrats desire to beef up the IRS.
