On the recordMarch 4, 2010
Mr. President, as Yogi Berra once said: ``It's deja vu all over again.'' That is where we are. We have had this amendment--not this precise amendment but many similar to it--many times, taking Recovery Act funds out. Just to remind my colleagues, CBO says there are 1 million to 3 million jobs the stimulus bill has created. There is more yet in the recovery package to continue to create more jobs. Now is not the time to cut back on a proven job creator. Therefore, I urge that we do not adopt this amendment. Mr. President, I raise a point of order that the pending Burr amendment violates section 201 of S. Con. Res. 21, the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2008. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Carolina.
