Virginia Foxx: “The Federal Government needs to stop sticking its noses in places it…”

On the recordOctober 26, 2021

The Federal Government needs to stop sticking its noses in places it does not belong. For the past 9 months, the size and scope of the Federal Government have expanded like a balloon being inflated with helium. Look no further than a provision in the Democrats' budget reconciliation package that allows the IRS to monitor the bank accounts of every American. If you made a deposit or withdrawal of more than $600 cumulatively, the IRS would be the first to know. That is $28 a day. Madam Speaker, the American people are fearful of more government control, and I share their fear. America should never find itself standing at socialism's door, and this dangerous provision puts us one step closer to doing so. ____________________
