@SpeakerMcCarthy has claimed that one of the first things he will do is stop the IRS from hiring 87,000 IRS employees. Despite the fact that there is literally ZERO chance of this happening my Twitter feed is filled with people who believe it will happen.

Remember when the GOP took control of the House, Senate, and Presidency? Republicans promised to repeal ObamaCare aka the Affordable Care Act. Guess what never happened? We never repealed it and it is STILL the law of the land. We had 100% control.

Fastforward to today and we've got a VERY slim majority in the House making the repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act (it included the $80B for the IRS) literally impossible. Worse yet it is unlikley to even pass the House as many GOP members support it.

@SpeakerMcCarthy will spend the next two years scrutinizing and attacking the IRA, but the IRA will be politically useful in the short term for Republicans running in 2024 - the GOP doesn't want to get rid of it even if they could before 24.

Instead of attempting to repeal the IRA House Republicans will likely make ample use of oversight processes to bring attention to the IRA in the run up to the 2024 election.

The only thing the GOP could possible do is to attempt to delay the implementation of the IRA - and that would be a long shot because the IRA doesn't require future appropriations - it is a done deal.

Truth? The IRA contains tax credits for carbon capture, nuclear, and other energy-generation technologies that Republicans support. The money funding renewable energy programs and incentives over the next 10 years is very popular with both parties.

Finally, it is worth repeating, that the GOP literally doesn't have the votes in the Senate much less control of the White House to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act - but I'm telling you even if they did they would be reluctant to repeal it.

That being said, the GOP could refuse to increase the debt ceiling and shut down the government and default on US debt in the 3rd quarter of this year - they could use this threat of default as leverage to force the Democrats to repeal the IRA. #unlikely
