John Yarmuth: “This proposal would have us do the unthinkable: a 9 percent cut, not 5 percent as the White House claims, in non-defense…”

I want to respond one more time to these claims about 87,000 new IRS agents. The IRS has never made any announcement about plans to hire any number of agents. The Washington Post fact-checker has actually given that claim three Pinocchios…

We would need to hire 400 new teachers and build two new schools.

We did not commit child abuse. That is an absurd statement. Forgive me, Speaker Gingrich.

We need to be much better at that.
