the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire is recognized. mrs. shaheen: thank you, and i'd like to thank my colleague from georgia, senator isakson, for your eloquent and thoughtful remarks in support of biennial budgeting. i am proud to join you as a cosponsor of this amendment and a cosponsor of the legislation that we introduced last week, in fact, and pleased to point out that on the floor with us is senator angus king from maine, my neighbor from maine who is also a sponsor of the biennial budget legislation. you know, i appreciate that we have a budget resolution before us. its think it's an important step towards returning to regular order, but the fact is, as you have pointed out, since 1980, we have only had two budget processes that have finished on time, according to schedule. we have had every president since that time, since ronald reagan who has endorsed a biennial budget. as you said, i have been there and done that as governor of new hampshire like the governors of 19 other states. we have biennial budgets. it's worked very well,

of the new hampshire house of representatives recently voted to prohibit private prisons in their state which is news because private prisons are big business here in the u.s. now let them think about that for a second shall we what do you want if you're a business owner more customers so you can make more profit and if your business is a prison your customers are prisoners so how do you drum up more customers if you find new ways to make more people incarcerated and that's exactly how it works in this country which takes great pride in its business action that's why private prison owners have spent more than forty five million dollars lobbying over the past decade here in the u.s. they lobby for things like longer sentences and minimum sentencing regardless of circumstance a lot of that money goes toward influencing lawmakers to pass stricter drug and immigration laws think about that we're going to hear your politicians pounding on their podiums talking about immigration or the war on drugs think about the fact that the private prison industry stands to make five point one billion dol

the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. ms. ayotte: mr. president, i urge my colleagues to support the ayotte amendment 158. we should not be increasing taxes now at the expense of jobs, and so my amendment would simply bring a budget point of order to prohibit tax increases while unemployment is above 5.5%. the president said that if we passed his stimulus package, his team said we would be at 5.1% unemployment now. i have heard from so many businesses with the $1.7 trillion in tax increases that have already been brought by the president and the democrats here that jobs are hurting. now is not the time to raise taxes. our small businesses are being killed by this. 23 million americans out of work. so many struggling with the unemployment rate over 7%. that's why i offered this amendment. i would urge my colleagues let's not increase taxes at the expense of jobs. so please support my amendment. the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: mr. president, as i have said many times, this budget asks the wealthiest america
