87,000 Pink Slips

CPAC DC 2023

Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means Missouri Representative Jason Smith and distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution Kevin Hassett discuss the Biden administration and the Democrats in Congress’ abuse of federal power as exemplified by the hiring of 87,000 more IRS agents. Tensions are mounting between average Americans and the federal government as Americans become increasingly wary of the IRS and the justice department’s violations of privacy and justice in witch hunts against conservatives. The rising inflation at the hands of massive federal spending bills that spend taxpayers’ money on luxury golf courses and foreign countries add to the distrust between constituents and representatives. Smith, in contrast, stands for the average, blue-collar, small business-owning American. He advocates for energy independence, economic prosperity, accessible and affordable health care in rural areas, and as the title of the conversation suggests, revoking the Biden administration’s expansion of federal agencies and regulations.
