Jacob J. Lew: “I totally agree with you on the importance of the EITC as a bridge to work.”

Over the past 7 years under the President's leadership, we have seen a sustained economic recovery and an unprecedented decline in the Federal budget deficit.

If we do not have the resources to hire the enforcement officers that we need, the tax gap will only grow.

The American people deserve to have an IRS with the resources so that, when you pick up the phone and call the IRS, there is a person at the other end to answer it.

The real goal is not to restructure the debt. The real goal is to get back to economic growth.
