The Child Support Enforcement program is one of the most cost-effective Federal programs, and we owe it to the American families to advance a permanent solution that accomplishes both of these goals.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. No funds appropriated under…

It seems like you have a solution but there is no problem.

So can you help me understand then, if we have never had a request, then what is the need for this rule?

Gone. They got their money and now they are gone.

So, some of these ERTC mills offer refund anticipation loans, in which they loan employers a certain percentage of their expected ERTC refund and, in the meantime, charge them interest-only payments.

So how prevalent do you find this issue if I am getting calls and you are getting calls just this morning?

The outdated IRS process that employers must use to claim the ERTC has not worked well.

Nobody likes paying taxes, which is really made more painful when the IRS does not do its job.

The deal is just a bad deal for the United States, no matter how you look at it

Specifically, the phrase 'pay their fair share' continues to be used. And I am asking, is there a dollar amount? Is there a percentage that is 'fair'?

Yet in 2022 corporate tax revenues reached a record high of $425 billion, or 43 percent higher than the final year of the Obama Administration.

So to be--this tax deal seems like a race to the bottom, and not what Republicans have been accused of at all.

This tax deal seems like a race to the bottom.

The U.S. has taken a much more aggressive approach when it comes to corporate tax rates.

It attacks our tax base, our economic strength, and it transfers wealth from the U.S. to countries abroad.

I continue to be shocked that this Administration would cede U.S. sovereignty to allow other countries to dictate changes to the U.S. tax code.

I definitely don't agree with that stance. And I am pretty public with that.

The waste and mismanagement that we have seen from the agency is a complete disservice to our job creators and their employees.

I actually don't have any questions, so I yield back.

As Representative Van Duyne mentioned a little bit earlier.

The small businesses that I speak to in north Texas have been battling significant market conditions that threaten their success.

Small businesses are telling me all the time that they are having a really hard time trying to find labor, especially skilled labor.

So more often than not, we see the federal government hinder growth of small business instead of helping.
