John Yarmuth: “But temporary measures can't solve permanent problems.”

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…

There is no option for our citizens other than a federally operated insurance system that covers everyone.

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

No one has any viable alternative period.
