All fifteen of McCarthy’s nominating speeches for Speaker addressed fiscal responsibility and addressing the increase in crime.  Every time these two were mentioned it resulted in a standing ovation on the Republican side of the aisle. Now I understand the first bill to be introduced once the Rules are adopted is legislation to turn back the increase passed last year to add more IRS agents.  Of course, people cheat on their taxes and short the government if they perceive they have no chance of getting audited, i.e., getting caught.  The Congressional Budget Office model on the increase in IRS agents showed a return of $12-$15 back to the government for every $1 spent on increased agents.How is it that it’s okay to arrest people for stealing cars, but not arrest people for stealing money from the federal government?
