I first congratulate my colleague Senator Isakson for doing a good job of summarizing exactly where we are and the problems we are experiencing with the complexity of the Affordable Care Act and the hope that the new Secretary will be…

As the ranking member of the Rules Committee, I take no pleasure in making these remarks, but the circumstances have given me absolutely no choice. Our distinguished majority leader recently came to this floor and declared that his…

This is a speech--these are some remarks--that I really should not have to make, but late this afternoon, I rise to discuss more amazing actions from our Nation's tax collector. This is, unfortunately, an agency that is fast becoming the…
