Tom Cotton, U.S. senator, R-Ark.

“The Inflation Reduction Act "doubles the size of the IRS, raises your taxes and spends billions on a green energy slush fund.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: The law would allow the IRS to hire up to 87,000 employees, but the agency expects to lose 50,000 employees. The law directly levies tax hikes only on very large corporations and high-earning money managers.
