The argument is the belief that the nominee or the bill in some cases deserves an actual up and down vote. And i am willing to proceed it to a nonvote.

Neal is also asking the irs for tax returns from companies and the trusts associated with the president. And here is how the president reacted to that news late tonight. The chairman of the Democratic Congress ways and Means Committee asked the irs for six years of your tax returns. Is that all . Thats all. Usually its ten so i guess theyre giving up. No, were under audit, despite what people said, were working that out. Im always under audit it seems. Ive been under audit many years because the numbers are big and i guess when you have a name, youre audited. But until such time as im not under audit, i would not be inclined to do that. Thank you.
