SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
* If indeed there's a bipartisan agreement on new infrastructure spending, one thing that won't help pay for all of it is collecting money the taxpayers already owe. Negotiators have agreed not to include a provision that would've boosted the ability of the IRS to enforce tax laws. Chye-Ching Huang is the executive director of the Tax Law Center at the NYU School of Law and joins us now. Thanks very much for being with us.
CHYE-CHING HUANG: Great to be here.
SIMON: Why was a provision that would've meant more money that's owed to the federal government in the federal budget dropped?
