that there is no point of order against the amendment, because the budget act, under the budget act, the senate looks to the budget committee to assess the effects of an amendment. this has to do with the current policy baseline that we decided to use in the budget resolution for this bill, and how we handle points of order related to it. this is an issue that i think we need to deal with right off the b bat. therefore, i make a point of order under section 313 b-1e of the congressional budget act against the substitute amendment number 2360. the presiding officer: under the congressional budget act and the precedence of the senate, the chair must rely on determinations made by the budget committee in assessing the budgetary effects of the amendment. section 312 of the budget act states, for the purposes of this title, title 4, the levels of new budgetary authority, outlays, direct spending, new

entitlement authority and revenues for a fiscal year shall be determined on the basis of estimates made by the committee on the budget of the house of representatives or the senate as applicable. unless the budget committee speaking through its chairman asserts that the amendment causes a violation of the budget act, the chair will not hold. the point of order is not well taken. mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the democrat leader. mr. schumer: i appeal the ruling of the chair and i ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: the yeas and nays are ordered. the appeal is debatable for one hour under this act. is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the yeas and nays are ordered. mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the democrat leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, first, let me thank everyone who stayed overnight to take part in the reading of this bill. my colleagues, the cloakrooms,

the floor staff, everyone who made it possible. i would say this to the cloakrooms and particularly or great floor staff, you are all amazing. you're the unsung heroes of what goes on here. without you, none of us could do our work. so thank you for your dedication, your excellence, your perseverance, your strength. now, senate democrats will now commence four parliamentary inquiries to show the hypocrisy of what republicans are trying to do here in the senate. and to expose how they're trying to hide the true costs of their billionaire giveaways to the american people. i thank my colleagues who will speak momentarily, as well as all of my colleagues who have come to the floor as we debate this bill before vote-a-rama. before i yield to them, i want to hammer home exactly what is going on here in the senate for the people back home.

republicans are about to pass the single most expensive bill in u.s. history, to give tax breaks to billionaires, while taking away medicaid, snap benefits, and good-paying jobs for millions of people. cbo just this morning said it will explode the debt by $3.3 trillion. they said it will likely cost more over time, more than that, closer to $4 trillion. rather than be honest with the american people about the true costs of their billionaire giveaways, republicans are doing something the senate has never, never done before, deploying fake math and accounting gimmicks to hide the true cost of their bill. look, republicans can use whatever budgetary gimmicks they want to try and make the math work on paper, but you can't paper over the real-life consequences of adding tens of trillions to the debt, sky-high

interest rates, higher borrowing costs for cars, homes, credit cards. americans are going to feel this unfortunately everywhere they look. americans' household wealth will be permanently hobbled. there aren't enough budgetary gimmicks in the world to change that fact. and for what? why are republicans doing this? so that billionaires can pay less in taxes while tens of millions lose their health care benefits and pay more for everyday expenses. i yield to my colleague from oregon for the first parliamentary inquirkingy -- inquiry. mr. merkley: parliamentary inquiry. the the presiding officer: senator will state. mr. merkley: when the house bill was first laid before the senate, was the operative baseline under which it would be considered the current law baseline under section 257 of the balanced budget and emergency deficit control act of

1985? the presiding officer: yes. mr. merkley: thank you. the presiding officer: i recognize the democrat leader. mr. schumer: i rise for a parliamentary inquiry. the presiding officer: the senator will state. mr. schumer: has the senate ever used a baseline other than current law baseline under 257 for enforcement of budget points of order, including under section 313 of the budget act during the consideration of a reconciliation measure? has it ever been used? the presiding officer: no. mr. wyden: mr. president. the presiding officer: recognize the senator from oregon. mr. wyden: mr. president, when the republican majority is going to the floor, what they're doing is hiding trillions of dollars in handouts to corporations and the wealthy. trillions of dollars. if you measure this bill the way we measure every other

reconciliation bill, it simply doesn't comply with the rules. but the republican majority has figured out a trick that allows them to sidestep the parliamentarian, violate the congressional budget act, and lift the filibuster for trump's entire legislative agenda in one fell swoop. it is fakery. the budget numbers are a fraud. but the deficits will be very real. the prospect of a catastrophic death spiral is very real. the hardship this terrible bill is going to inflict on tens of millions of americans will be very real. my parliamentariany inquiry will proceed now. does the score of the financed title of the senate substitute, by the chayman asserts -- the chairman asserts complies with the instruction, rely on current policy for taxes and current law for health provisions like medicaid? the presiding officer: yes. mrs. murray: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the senator from washington. mrs. murray: parmentry --

parliamentary inquiry. are the remaining nine titles of the senate substitute scored by cbo used a currents law 257 baseline? the presiding officer: yes. mrs. murray: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the senator from washington. mrs. murray: i've been here a long time. not only have i been the budget chair, i am the longest serving democrat on that committee. and in my 33 years here in the united states senate, things have never, never worked this way, where one party so egregiously ignores presence dent, process -- precedent, process, and the parliamentarian, all in order to wipe away trillions of dollars of costs for a bill that could just be the most expensive legis legislation this body ever passes. forget senate proceed for a minute. math, mr. president, has never worked that way. i taught preschool.

i'll tell you, even our littlest kids know the difference between a trillion and zero. it doesn't take a preschooler to tell you they're using magic math, or that you can't just ignore the rules you don't like. how many times have my colleagues cried about the debt? how many times have they told me, i know you want to invest in child care, patty, but we got to get this budget under control. now that it's tax cuts for billionaires and corporations, suddenly the budget doesn't matter anymore. suddenly the rules do not matter any anymore. suddenly, a couple trillion goes away with a sprinkle of fairy dust, and bypassing the parliamentarian and president isn't really bypassing if you close your eyes and pretend real hard. have you know shame? if you think you can look the american people in the face and tell them we have to bring down the debt after passing what

might be the most expensive bill in history, if you think you can do that and then be taken seriously, you know what, if you believe that, maybe you are foolish enough to think that zero and a trillion are the same. mr. president, i can't believe this is what we're doing today, because i can tell you right now go this happens we will all laugh you out of the room because we have never seen anything like this, not in my time here in the senate, not in my time on this planet. we are not going to let anyone forget that you're track the rules in order to pass this egregious bill. i yield the floor. mr. merkley: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: thank you. i want to share a couple comments with my colleagues, including republican colleagues, because i've made these points on the floor, and generally the floor is empty. some of you are here now.

in 1974, 100 senators agreed on reconciliation as a fast track filibuster free, but only for reducing the deficit. it had three pillars, reduce the deficit over a ten-year period. second, reduce the deficit in each year after that ten-year period, in each title of the bill. third, use honest numbers. in 1996, the republican team was in the majority and decided on a nuclear option to allow that reconciliation process to be used to increase deficits in the ten-year window. that was unfortunate because it destroyed the agreement all 100 senators agreed to in 1974. but now today if we proceed with this current policy baseline there's other pillars you are destroying. the second pillar was no deficits after the ten-year period. that's being destroyed. and the third was to use honest

numbers from the p congressional budget office on a current law basis comparing each provision in the bill as compared to the provision not being in the bill. so here we are taking a step that is as significant as it was in 1996. all three pillars will be brought down not by democrats, but by republicans. it's not necessary to do this to get what you want within the ten-year period. why tear down these additional two pillars of honesty about the numbers, no more smoke and mirrors, and creating deficits after the ten-year period. it's unfortunate if you press forward with that vision in this bill. thank you, mr. president. mr. wyden: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the senator from oregon. mr. wyden: i want to pick up on the point that my colleague from washington state touched on. everybody ought to understand this is the nuclear option.

it's just hidden behind a whole lot of washington, d.c. lingo. the only difference is instead of pressing a big nuclear button right at the beginning of the congress, republicans decided that they'd hide behind a cloak of senate procedure and go nuclear for every individual bill they want to pass on party lines. and i just say to my colleagues there's going to be a lot of horrendous messes to clean up after this legislation. but my colleagues need to understand the moves, as my colleague from washington state has said, cut both ways. i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the democratic leader. mr. schumer: i ask that debate time come off the bill unless otherwise advised. the presiding officer: without objection. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the senator from rhode

island. mr. whitehouse: in this place where big money now rules and in which fakery is now the order of the day and numbers no longer have to be real, there is one point that stands out, and that is that the fakery on the floor is belied by the language of the bill. if these assertions were true, they would not need to raise the debt limit. all of this fun and games, all of this parliamentary mischief that is happening right now crashes into the fact that in real markets, in the real world outside of this fakery, the debt limit is actually a real thing. and i will take a moment to read

from page 754 of this midnight monstrosity what it actually says where it collides with the real world. subtitle c, increase in debt limit. section 72001, modification of limitation on the public debt. line 20, the limitation under section 3101-b of title 31 united states code, as most recently increased by section 401-b of public law 118-531 usc 3101 note is increased by $5

trillion. $5 trillion. that's the real number here. that's where the rubber hits the road in real life. the maneuver that is being pulled right now to avoid that fact, the fact that the debt limit has to be increased by $5 trillion so the republicans can give immense tax breaks to billionaires has not been used for this before. i used it once in the year 2000. a deal had been struck on how to score activities of the power marketing administration. does anybody really know about the power marketing administration? it's a small thing. over the years the congressional budget office started scoring the program differently than the senate had agreed to in 2000.

so in 2023 and 2024, senate budget chair -- me -- and the house budget chair, jodey c. arrington -- on a bipartisan basis invoked this section to have cbo return to the original senate agreement and not the variation that they had created. this is what section 312 has been used for to resolve technical ambiguity to advance a bipartisan appropriation deal, not to create senate floor fakery belied by the $5 trillion debt limit hike that republicans are obliged to pass to make good on this huge billionaire blowout that we're forcing through the senate floor now. i yield the floor.
