The policy agenda was unveiled by House Republicans on Friday in order to get voters to give them control of the chamber in the fall. The repeal of a piece of President Joe Biden's economic legacy is the first thing to be done.
The Inflation Reduction Act, which Biden signed into law last month, set aside 80 billion dollars for the IRS.

Inflation has reached its highest levels in decades and the House Republican agenda pledges to fight it. It made commitments to fight crime and strengthen the economy.
This is not about partying." It's about our nation. McCarthy said that the next century would be the American century.
The policy platform was rolled out by House Republicans without McConnell's approval. McConnell decided to keep the focus on Biden's handling of the economy, without specifying what Senate Republicans would do if they regained the upper chamber. On Thursday, he encouraged the agenda.

The IRS will use the funds to clear a back up of tax returns, update its computer systems and hire thousands of additional employees, according to the Treasury Secretary. Since World War II, the agency has fewer auditors and its workforce is the same as it was in the 70s. Wealthy Americans who have not paid taxes will be pursued.
