The Biden regime allocated $80 billion to modernize the IRS in its Inflation Increase Act which continues hitting consumers today in the form of higher prices.
The IRS “modernization” was eventually pared down to $60 billion.

With a $1 billion return for $60 billion spending, taxpayers would have been better off shrinking the IRS and investing the money in a high-yield fund.
But despite the class warfare hype, the IRS is still very much targeting the middle class: the bread and butter of thieves and governments. (But I repeat myself.)
The Internal Revenue Service got an audit of its own in time for Tax Day, and two irregularities jump out. President Biden’s plan to hire a new army of tax collectors is falling flat, and the agents already at work are targeting the middle class.
The most recent data suggests the IRS is still focused on the middle class. As of last summer, 63% of new audits targeted taxpayers with income of less than $200,000. Only a small overall share reached the very highest earners, while 80% of audits covered filers earning less than $1 million.
Tigta reports that revenue-agent recruitment is “far below” the agency’s target, and it hired only 34 in the first six months of its expansion, according to trade publication Government Executive. That compares with its goal of 3,700 in the first year.
34 or 3,7000. Close enough for government work. That is when you’re in the government, as opposed to being targeted by it, as the Freedom Center has been these last 5 years.
The government accused the Freedom Center of ‘electioneering’ because we had criticized Hillary Clinton. Compared to what happened to some Hillary critics, we probably got off lightly with a 5-year investigation.
When we uncovered a letter by the former IRS Chief of Exempt Organizations, a crony of the infamous Lois Lerner best known from the Obama’s Tea Party targeting scandal, denouncing the Freedom Center and Front Page Magazine because according to him our articles, including one about the Paris Climate Accord, were not “sufficiently full and fair”, it was a validation of our work.
This is not about anything except the fact that the government fears our reporting.
Clearly, the IRS needed that $60 billion to hire 34 agents and then go on harassing political opponents and the middle class.
