“The gentleman is 100 percent wrong. You had a phasing down of the amount of money people could earn and still be eligible for the EITC. You had changes in terms of calculation of Social Security and its impact on EITC. We do not change the substance of the EITC law as it affects the working poor. We forced you not to do that, so do not use that sham argument. We say there should be compliance. We say the law should be followed. That is where all of our money is, and it is disgraceful that you do not have it in, and that you for months and months wanted to hit the working poor. Shame on you for using that argument.”
