My staff and I continue to hear concerns that the EPA is not treating all zero emission resources the same in this proposal.

we are leaving about $400 billion of money on the table of money that is not being collected.

I think that is a very large problem.

Tom Coburn is gone, but that spirit that he brought to this Committee for all those years is still being nurtured by me.

Addressing these gaps needs to be a priority, given their impact on so many important issues facing our country.

And, the other thing they have been given is a tax code that is not made more simple every year, but generally made more complex.

In order to form a more perfect Union.

It makes sense to refer to S. 456 because it is very similar to the White House's cybersecurity information-sharing proposal.

We know we will never be perfect. But we strive for perfection, because we know everything that we do, we can do better.

If you do not have the head of the agency or the deputy focused on this issue, you will make marginal progress, at best, in those areas.

Congress has to be a real partner in this effort to ensure success.

for every dollar that we invest in the IRS and their people and their technology, they generate roughly $10 worth of revenue.

We need to get it done. It will help ratchet down some of those improper payments, especially in Medicare and Medicaid, and we need to make progress.

If there is a plan in place that has been followed, that is a good plan that has milestones and metrics that can transcend changes in political leadership in the Departments.

But, we have made progress.

I am hopeful he is going to provide wonderful leadership at the IRS.

I do not mind paying taxes. I just do not want you to waste my money.

We continue to recommend that would be a good thing to do.
