yes, I would urge a ``no'' vote simply because we are living in a world where it is hard to get by. Growing the government, I think, will create more inflation. Everything can't be free because we all--it gets to be so free that you can't afford it. So you are the same people that told us if we passed the American Rescue Plan, all would be well.

Vote on Amendment 5211, As Modified The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment No. 5211, as modified.
