                          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.
