Additionally, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer clearly want to use this to ram through President Biden’s ‘Build Back Broke’ act that, according to the CBO, costs closer to $5 trillion when the budget gimmicks are removed. Using the CBO scores, the Democrat leadership is trying to push a total of $7 trillion in spending without a single GOP vote. Our country is facing a debt crisis and it is triggering out-of-control inflation that is hurting American families.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
