So do you get, my colleagues, the hypocrisy? They slashed the tax collectors, paid eight times more to this private contractor cronies, and then when we get a Democratic majority in the House to pass this to eliminate this wasteful program, they say it won't pass the Senate. Because the Republicans in the Senate won't do it, and we need them to add up to the 60 votes to avoid the Republican filibuster, which they expect to do, to filibuster getting rid of this privatization of tax collection. I urge the passage of this bill.
