Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  2. the heavy cuts to the extremely small share of the budget spent on effective international aid programs will harm long-run global economic growth.
  3. IRS employees raise revenue via increased enforcement by amounts that far exceed their salaries.
