On the recordFebruary 20, 2025
I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Democrats are the ones who caused the record-high inflation and soaring consumer prices with their reckless partisan spending. The cost of everything is up 20 percent, and the cost of housing went up 40 percent during Joe Biden's Presidency. Reducing illegal immigration and cutting energy costs through reconciliation are critical components of reducing costs at the checkout aisle. Point of Order Mr. President, this amendment, however, is not in order. If adopted it would jeopardize the privileged status of the budget resolution and could derail our efforts to use reconciliation. Since the amendment does not meet the standard required by law, I raise a point of order against the amendment under section 305(b)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. I urge--I urge--my colleagues to just vote no. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Virginia. Motion To Waive
