THE IRS IS WATCHING
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, the Federal Government needs to stop sticking its noses in places it does not belong.
For the past 9 months, the size and scope of the Federal Government have expanded like a balloon being inflated with helium. Look no further than a provision in the Democrats' budget reconciliation package that allows the IRS to monitor the bank accounts of every American. If you made a deposit or withdrawal of more than $600 cumulatively, the IRS would be the first to know. That is $28 a day.
Madam Speaker, the American people are fearful of more government control, and I share their fear. America should never find itself standing at socialism's door, and this dangerous provision puts us one step closer to doing so.
