Ways and Means Democrats will not back down from defending the economic, security, and peace of mind that we have given to workers and retirees from political threats.
More Americans have health insurance today than ever before, with 4 out of 5 people now being able to access high-quality care for less than $10 a month.
By increasing the credit, making it fully refundable, and authorizing monthly payments we used the tax code to deliver relief directly to American families.
I remind everyone every single Republican in Congress voted against the Inflation Reduction Act and against funding for the IRS to do its job.
I believe the only reason to work to cut the IRS budget is to either make consumer services worse or to make cheating on your taxes easier.
Unfortunately, the majority seems to think that the IRS budget is a slush fund to pay for every program that they want to pass and put into law.

Under Republican funding cuts, the audit rate on millionaires fell by more than 70 percent.
