The GOP legisltive agenda

Undo the IRS expansion and boost the economy

The first item on the agenda is to "repeal 87,000 IRS" agents whom Democrats have sought to hire following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act last month. Democrats have contended that beefing up the IRS is a necessary step to crack down on tax evasion and increase government revenue.

They also added roughly $80 billion in funding to the IRS over the next decade in the Inflation Reduction Act. Republicans have sought to unwind the provision, arguing it is too intrusive to everyday taxpayers.

“On that very first day that we’re sworn in, you’ll see that it all changes,” McCarthy declared during an unveiling of the agenda Friday. “Because on our very first bill, we’re going to repeal 87,000 IRS agents. Our job is to work for you, not go after you. Our job is to make America stronger.”

A core pillar of the agenda is cultivating "an economy that is strong." His vow to nix the IRS expansion was one of the few specific policy measures he outlined in his speech.

Ramp up energy production

As high gas prices at the pump continue to eat at consumers' wallets, Republicans plan to focus on boosting oil and other forms of energy production. This is intended to create jobs and alleviate high energy prices.

Republicans are seeking to "cut the permitting process time in half to reduce reliance on foreign countries." Notably, Democrats have been eyeing permitting reform as well. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reportedly requested it in exchange for going along with the Inflation Reduction Act. However, talks have been met with fierce resistance among progressives, particularly in the House of Representatives.

Beef up public safety measures

Another core pillar of the House Republican platform is "a nation that's safe." In keeping with that, Republicans are hoping to hire 200,000 more police officers across the country, according to House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

Crime has ticked up in multiple cities and municipalities across the country since the pandemic struck. The GOP has long seized upon rhetoric from some progressives calling to defund the police, seeking to juxtapose it with their support for law enforcement. Crime has also been a leading issue for voters, according to polling.

Legislation to beef up public safety measures will include bills designed to dial up police recruitment and reviewing policies of local prosecutors, namely progressive attorneys whom Republicans have criticized for being too soft on crime.

Investigate the Biden administration

Long before rolling out the agenda, House Republicans made it clear that they intend to deploy congressional investigative committees against the Biden administration. McCarthy reiterated that during his speech Friday.

There is a torrent of fraught political topics the Republicans have their sights on, including the Hunter Biden laptop saga, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, determining the origins of COVID-19, the "weaponization of the DOJ against the American people," and more.

Should the GOP recapture the House, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is poised to helm the House Judiciary Committee, and he underscored interest in reviewing the FBI's raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort last month.

All of these items are needed.  Biden's energy policies are idiotic making the US reliant on imports at a higher price.  Those high prices funded Putin's war in Ukraine.  The FBI needs to be investigated for its politically driven operations.  Many of its recent moves make no sense.  Biden's expansion of the IRS is a trademark of government greed.
