Maria Cantwell actually said...

"I was heartened to hear Secretary Mnuchin during his confirmation hearing say that the IRS was understaffed and that we needed to make sure that we moved beyond the punitive budget cuts."

"I was disappointed along with many of my colleagues by the $239 million budget cut the President proposed for the IRS, nearly erasing the bipartisan efforts we made last year."

"We obviously want good programs that work."
