Not in Health Reform: "16,500 Armed Bureaucrats"
Whitehouse.gov ^ | April 2, 2010 | by Linda Douglass

In the latest example from an ever-growing list of willful distortions, the American people are being warned that because of health care reform, the federal government will hire over 16,000 new IRS agents to enforce the new law.

The major task of IRS employees that will work on implementing this legislation will be to inform the American people of the different aspects of reform that they stand to benefit from and to make sure the historic health care tax relief is administered smoothly and efficiently.

Getting the word out about these tax credits and delivering them smoothly and accurately will require relatively modest investments in technology and staff – even if that is less interesting to some than their fantasies about 16,000 gun-toting bureaucrats.

Everyone needs to understand that they are debunking the actual 16,000 new IRS agents, only that all 16,000 will be armed.

Please note the double speak and read the words and not the idea they are attempting to present.

It was the Department of Education that just got those shotguns.

The Dept. of Ed. only ordered about 27.

The IRS had another concurrent order for a much larger quantity.

Why does the Department of Education need shotguns? Or any guns, for that matter?

Not doubting you, but what's the source for the story?
thanks.
