What the document actually says
“Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustees provide valuable returns of assets to government creditors, including the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Agriculture, the Small Business Administration, and other Federal, State, and municipal governments.”
That sentence, in plain words
Congress says these workers get money back for the government. Three offices are named.
What this is about
A creditor is anyone who is owed money. Governments are owed money too. Unpaid taxes are one example.
