Expect Delays On Tax Refunds.
Donald Trump has instructed the IRS to begin mass layoffs affecting thousands of employees.
Why? What happened where we don't need the over 100,000 IRS workers currently employed? Just a while back, they were going to hire almost another 100k and double the force to get those little pesky American citizens?
So what happens to all the guns they bought for the IRS in 2021?
"The years 2020 and 2021 were peak years at the IRS for purchasing weaponry and gear. Just since the pandemic started, the IRS has purchased $10 million in weaponry and gear," says the report from OpenTheBooks, which describes itself as a nonprofit, nonpartisan "government watchdog organization."
The purchases are said to include $2.3 million on ammunition, $1.2 million on ballistic shields, $474,000 on Smith & Wesson rifles, $463,000 on Beretta 1301 tactical shotguns and $243,000 on body armor vests.
The agency crossed the 100,000-employee threshold faster than expected. Werfel told reported he planned to get the agency to 200,000 employees by 2027.
