"Let me begin by saying that nobody on this side of the aisle is ever going to back down from the challenge of fixing improper payments and fighting fraud."

"Setting standards for paid tax preparers has multiple benefits. Not only will it crack down on fraud, it is going to help cut down on improper Earned Income Tax Credit payments."

"I really want to defer to the expertise of Senator Carper, who has led this committee on this question of rooting out health care fraud for years."

"We have been working on improper payments, Tom Coburn and I, for, gosh, almost a dozen years."
