Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement after it was reported that the IRS is unable to account for $67 million from a fund intended for implementing Obamacare:
“This is disgusting but unfortunately not surprising. The fact that the IRS cannot even keep track of Americans’ hard earned money proves they have way too much of it, and is more evidence they have no business being involved in our health care.
“I’m committed to defunding Obamacare, and the events of this year have made it clear that I cannot support giving the IRS any more responsibility or taxpayer dollars to implement a broken law.”
Earlier this month, Sen. Cornyn introduced his “Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013” as an amendment on the Senate floor. The bill would prohibit the Secretary of the Treasury, or any delegate, including the IRS, from enforcing Obamacare and was passed by the House earlier this year.
Senator Cornyn serves on the Finance and Judiciary Committees. He serves as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee’s Immigration, Refugees and Border Security subcommittee.
