Michelle, Michelle, Michelle - My Little Magpie

Michelle, Michelle, Michelle (My Belle)...

Yet again she schelps out another lie that has been debunked, this time (in the State of the Union Rebuttal) she talked about 16,500 new IRS agents. (Last time it was the $200,000,000 a day trip to India - a huge ass debunked falsehood).
.
Actually LIE is a little harsh. I think she is like a magpie, she sees a nice shiney trashy comment and has to repeat. In this case embellish. She is not only repeated this flasehood - but railed against it as it already happened.

Here is the deunked link.

Q: Will the IRS hire 16,500 new agents to enforce the health care law?
A: No. The law requires the IRS mostly to hand out tax credits, not collect penalties. The claim of 16,500 new agents stems from a partisan analysis based on guesswork and false assumptions, and compounded by outright misrepresentation.
FULL ANSWER
This wildly inaccurate claim started as an inflated, partisan assertion that 16,500 new IRS employees might be required to administer the new law. That devolved quickly into a claim, made by some Republican lawmakers, that 16,500 IRS "agents" would be required. Republican Rep. Ron Paul of Texas even claimed in a televised interview that all 16,500 would be carrying guns. None of those claims is true.
The IRS’ main job under the new law isn’t to enforce penalties. Its first task is to inform many small-business owners of a new tax credit that the new law grants them — starting this year — which will pay up to 35 percent of the employer’s contribution toward their workers’ health insurance. And in 2014 the IRS will also be administering additional subsidies — in the form of refundable tax credits — to help millions of low- and middle-income individuals buy health insurance.
