“Again, for some more examples, Mr. Murphy, you came in the new freshman class or majority-makers who were committed to this campaign to come here and help move this country in a new direction. The new direction we have been talking about is eliminating the consistent examples of Republicans talking about being fiscally responsible but doing exactly the opposite. The next time we should bring the numbers of the votes to the floor on how many Republicans voted for the PAYGO rules and how many Democrats voted for it, how many Republicans voted against the amendment that closed the tax loophole that allowed American companies to hide how much they were supposed to pay in taxes by headquartering them in a different country even if they were really American companies doing business here. In that energy bill, we put a provision in that energy bill to make sure we could close that loophole. I would like to see numbers here on how many Republicans voted against it, allowing companies to skirt their responsibility. This is not about increasing taxes. That vote was about collecting the taxes that are due, that these companies owe. So no on PAYGO, no on closing tax loopholes, no on debt collection responsibility and leaving $50 million on the table. Who is fiscally responsible and who is just kidding?”
