Robert Portman
The Public Record
I was a vocal critic of the previous JCPOA and I believe that the Biden administration has a rare opportunity to fix the fatal flaws of the previous agreement.
Should we condition billions of dollars in taxpayer money not just on the important things that Senator Cardin talked about but also on working with us on this issue of immigration?
A Treasury Secretary can be very powerful within an administration, providing a voice for fiscal sanity, and I would urge you to do that.
We should not get too comfortable with that, and second, that we have historic levels of deficits now.
I just am worried about these proposals to both increase the corporate tax and to double the rate, as I understand it, on GILTI, on this minimum tax, from 10½ to 21 percent.
I will look forward to working with you on coming up with ways to deal with that long-term structural deficit.
I hope you work with us on this issue of immigration and asylum so people can apply from their home country or a safe third country.
I agree that dealing with the violence is important and I applaud those changes.
