I am pleased to have contributed to the efforts aimed at providing relief for the American populace during the pandemic. Despite a myriad of challenges, we were able to facilitate assistance for families and small businesses. Emergency rental aid ensured that 6.5 million working families were able to maintain their homes. The Paycheck Protection Program, which shielded payrolls of small businesses, prevented the loss of employment for approximately 90 million employees. Furthermore, we supported state and local governments to overcome fiscal shortfalls.
It's important to remember that there are children and families in our district and all across the country who rely on SNAP benefits. For them, it's about food insecurity and not having access to the basics they need to take care of themselves. It means going to school hungry and not having the quality of life they deserve. It's important to listen to our constituents and deliver for them. We should always put people over politics and do what's right for those who need it most.
It's frustrating to see the wealthiest Americans constantly finding ways to evade taxes or hide their money in secret offshore bank accounts just to avoid paying their fair share. It's not fair to the rest of us who are diligently paying our taxes on time. Something needs to be done to address this persistent problem.
WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) voted for a government funding bill that prevents a shutdown and makes historic investments in American families and workers. The legislation will also strengthen Democracy at home and abroad and fund the implementation of the PACT Act we passed earlier this year. It also delivers more than $21M for 14 local projects in Nevada’s 4thCongressional District.
I am in support of H.R 9640, the Presidential Tax Filings and Audit Transfer Transparency Act of 2022. It's important that Congress takes action now, and I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this measure. Restoring the American people's confidence in our tax system is crucial, as it will ensure transparency and accountability in government.
As the chairman has pointed out, action must be taken to rebuild the IRS. The agency has been defunded for over a decade due to Republican cuts, making it difficult for public servants to perform their duties effectively. It is time to invest in our government and provide the necessary resources to ensure that the IRS can function properly and meet the needs of the American people.
