<p>House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/republican-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republicans</a>, who are now in control of the legislative body, voted Monday evening to cut billions of dollars to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/internal-revenue-service-irs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internal Revenue Service</a> after the agency received a significant boost in funding in the Democrats&#8217; Inflation Reduction Act.</p>
<p>House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who just was elected to the position after 15 rounds of voting, hailed the passage of the bill by a 221-210 vote.</p>
<p>“Government should work for you, not against you. As part of the House Republican Commitment to America, I promised we would vote to repeal the Democrats’ army of 87,000 IRS agents on our very first day in the majority,&#8221; McCarthy said in a statement. “Promises made. Promises kept.”</p>
<p>McCarthy previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-kevin-mccarthy-gives-speech-on-house-floor-after-winning-speakership" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during his first speech as House speaker that the first bill that Republicans were going to vote on was to cut IRS funding.</p>
<p>The increase in funding was estimated to be north of $80 billion over 10 years to help the agency collect more taxes from American citizens in addition to other purposes like technological upgrades. The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2023/01/09/house-republicans-cut-irs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Republicans voted to strip about $71 billion from those funds.</p>
<p>The bill is unlikely to pass in the Senate.</p>
<p>The focus on cutting funding to the IRS was included in the economic portion of McCarthy&#8217;s &#8220;Commitment To America&#8221; plan.</p>
<p>Other key points from the economic section include:</p>
<ul>
<li class="p1"><i>Curb wasteful government spending that is raising the price of groceries, gas, cars, and housing, and growing our national debt.</i></li>
<li class="p1"><i>Increase take-home pay, create good-paying jobs, and bring stability to the economy through pro-growth tax and </i><i>deregulatory policies.</i></li>
<li class="p1"><i>Maximize production of reliable, cleaner, American-made energy and cut the permitting process time in half to reduce reliance </i><i>on foreign countries, prevent rolling blackouts, and lower the cost of gas and utilities.</i></li>
<li class="p1"><i>Move supply chains away from China, expand U.S. manufacturing, and enhance America’s economic competitiveness and </i><i>cyber resiliency</i></li>
</ul>
