i bet most people aren’t going to object to loans being forgiven but I’m sure they’ll have to take some kind of action I doubt it will automatically be done

No. The IRS has been understaffed for years. They’re trying to hire for that and clear the backlog of other stuff…

Nor are they doing it for border agents.
I think they ought to send the gun-toting ready to use "deadly force" IRS agents to the border.

They have been cutting the IRS's budget for several years. Even more under Trump. The VA hasn't had its budget cut. They just suck at what they do. Signed, woman married to retired military man.

It’s an ad for IRS law enforcement officers. Every federal agency has gun toting law enforcement officers. Even the Federal Reserve and EPA. Someone has to protect premises, provide physical security, etc.
