A Big Defeat for the IRS?

We’re only two days away from Christmas Eve, and it looks like the IRS is on the naughty list, and the funding for its billion dollar list that it sent to Santa Biden to put another 87,000 IRS auditors on the streets, among other disturbing plans, is now in jeopardy of falling apart.
As it’s being reported:
"The massive bipartisan bill to fund the government trims IRS funding by $275 million over last year’s annual appropriations level, in a win for Republicans who sought cuts after Democrats gave the agency $80 billion in multiyear funding earlier this year.
The draft legislation includes $12.3 billion for the agency, lower than last fiscal year’s total of roughly $12.6 billion. Democrats wanted to boost the agency’s annual budget arguing the funds in the tax-and-climate law were supplemental, but that was a difficult pill for Republicans to swallow."
It was a hard pill to swallow. Especially knowing full well the plan was to double the amount of agents and double the amount of audits. Particularly, it seems like the Biden Administration gave its foot soldiers a mandate. Get that tax revenue. After all, the President needs it to pay for abortions and the rest of his liberal agenda.
This is typical political gameplay. The Left dropped this more than 4,000 page spending bill just a few days before Christmas Eve, and if anyone complains that’s not enough time to actually read through closely, they’ll accuse them of stalling or not caring about Americans, or whatever duplicitous spin they put on it.
Today’s full Sekulow broadcast includes more analysis of this latest Senate Omnibus package and what the cuts to the IRS proposal might signify. We’re also joined by ACLJ Senior Counsel for Global Affairs and former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who weighed in on the IRS scandal, as well as updating all of us on the current situation in Ukraine.
