Chuck Grassley

Thanks to many of you, especially Senator Grassley and Chairman Durbin, I was spared from spending another decade behind bars.

I've heard a proposal to create an expensive new federal climate bureaucracy, doling out billions in green handouts to large corporations.

It's not appropriate for us to micromanage the state for the sake of climate change, or anything else for that matter.

We celebrate when Congress manages to avoid shutting down the government. I think we can set the bar a little higher than that.

We're broke here in Washington, D.C.

For the good of our nation we must begin to find common ground to address a national debt that recently topped $34 trillion.

Let's face it, we're broke.

Our unsustainable fiscal outlook is a bipartisan problem because both parties talk about it, and it's going to require a bipartisan solution to resolve.

We hear Democrats argue for a cascade of expensive and expansive federal climate proposals that will saddle us and local governments with debt and red tape.

This has prevented us from discussing ways to improve our immediate and dire economic position.

Today, I placed a hold on S. 595, the Rio San Jose and Rio Jemez Water Settlements Act of 2023. The legislation is not paid for and would violate multiple budget enforcement rules. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill…

The facts haven't taken me to that point where I can say that the president's guilty of anything.

Let's look at this tax gap, Mr. Edwards, of $625 billion.

Let's resist the siren call of the magic money machine, and put taxpayer services first.

I've heard liberal pundits claim that anyone who's not a tax cheat has nothing to worry about from increased IRS enforcement.

The proponents of this funding tout this funding as necessary to increase taxpayer services.

We all want to tax cheats to be held accountable, however, we must first help the majority of taxpayers who want to do the right thing.

Efforts to paint one side of the aisle as friendly to tax avoidance, or tax evasion, ignores that taxpayers of all types attempt to minimize their tax liability in a legal way.

Democrats abandoned the bipartisan focus on customer service in pursuit of partisan enforcement first efforts.

A few years ago, however, IRS reform had strong bipartisan support.

When it comes to holding known tax cheats accountable, I'll take a back seat to no one.

If you care about debt and deficits you should want a well-funded, well-functioning IRS.

Congratulations to you.

We continue to receive testimony that relies on the extreme Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario.
