And I know that one of the stated purposes of these cuts is to eliminate fraud in the EITC program. That is a noble goal but I am afraid. that like the news of Mark Twains death. fraud in this program may be greatly exaggerated. The President has proposed denying the EITC credit to illegal aliens and I am pleased that the proposal before us incorporates that idea. It also makes sense to require a Social Security number in order to qualify for the credit. The IRS is making a good faith effort to ensure that this credit is going to the people who need it the most.
