Kennedy, "I don't know if we are in a trade war..."
Then don't pander to Munchkin and allow him to believe you are really that ignorant about the issue. I do wonder if Former Secretary Paulson is begging Munchkin to end the torture over China.
Kenndy, "...I will save my other questions until my other colleagues have a chance to weigh in...." When Kennedy speaks again after two Democratic Senators he disputes the focus of the so called colleagues. He didn't have additional questions, he simply carried out minimization of his colleagues.
Senator Coones is concerned about Community grants to neighborhoods that stimulate growth. Call me crazy, but, I don't consider that a minor issue.
Charitable Giving has dropped because there is no financial incentive in the IRS code now. Hm. The question was when will the US Senate receive the report about the impact on charitable giving. Munchkin BELIEVES in charitable giving, but, it is too soon for the Secretary to know the impact. Ho-hum. It only effects 37 million givers that is now reduced to 16 million.
Munchkin has no answers for these Senators, but, he certainly knows how to complain about the computer programs the American people have provided.
$600 million was diverted to the Trump border wall by Munchkin. Oh, yeah, there is also lots of good requests for this fund, he doesn't specifics though. Does he punch a clock to know if he actually comes into the office rather than chasing day trading?
CDFI Program (click here) has been cut from the budget by the Secretary.
It is my judgment of Secretary Munchkin that he is a racist in defunding the CDFI Program. It is more abuse of power by this Plutocrat.
Secretary Munchkin states that the IRS weaponizes requests against any American. That is a judgment by the Secretary of the Treasury. He continues to refuse to provide Trump's IRS filings to oversight by Congress.
Kennedy, "Do you think we should have a precedent...tax returns...how about you send me the tax returns of all the Democratic colleagues..."
Kennedy is nothing more than a political hack as the chairman of this Senate Committee. He has absolutely no intention of taking his colleagues seriously and advocating for Americans that are impacted by the decisions of Secretary Munchkin. Now that Munchkin knows he will never be challenged in his decisions by the US Senate Republicans, he will never do anything that favorably impacts the American people, especially minority Americans.
Secretary Munchkin is corrupt as is Senator Kennedy and only reflects the brevity facing the American people with this administration in office. Munchkin is abusing the power of his office, provides no confidence in what is occurring with the US Treasury and probably spends most of his time manipulating words and laws to find a way to let Putin have his sanctions removed.
This US Treasurer is doing exactly what he wants to do without any oversight or conscience.
