GOP lied about IRS hiring more agents to handle health care reform



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

From FactCheck.org:

Q: Will the IRS hire 16,500 new agents to enforce the health care law?

A: No. The law requires the IRS mostly to hand out tax credits, not collect penalties. The claim of 16,500 new agents stems from a partisan analysis based on guesswork and false assumptions, and compounded by outright misrepresentation.
I'm shocked. Simply shocked.
