John Yarmuth: “We won't allow for anyone who has paid their quarters in to retire into poverty.”

I want to respond one more time to these claims about 87,000 new IRS agents. The IRS has never made any announcement about plans to hire any number of agents. The Washington Post fact-checker has actually given that claim three Pinocchios…

We were trying to get money to businesses, we were trying to get money to state and local governments.

We would need to hire 400 new teachers and build two new schools.

No one has any viable alternative period.
