As Ranking Member of the #FinancialServices & General Government #Appropriations Subcommittee, I voiced my strong opposition to the FY19 FSGG bill. Filled with controversial riders, it doesn’t meet the growing needs of our small biz & taxpayers. Read why:http://bit.ly/2ybecR8
After losing over a billion dollars in funding and 18,000 staff between 2010 and 2017, Republicans have reversed course and have begun providing IRS with additional funding to implement their new tax law. Yet, taxpayer service is cut by $15 million.
The SEC, which is tasked with protecting investors and ensuring fairness in our capital markets, is cut by over $200 million, even though the commission’s budget is financed by industry fees, not taxpayer funds.
