They are pushing Joe Biden\u2019s nearly $2 trillion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/build-back-better\/\">Build Back Better <\/a>bill as the government is set to hit default.<\/p>\n<p>While speaking to the press Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (d-N.Y.) was unable to confirm if he can keep the government open past Friday. This comes as Democrat lawmakers still haven\u2019t passed or even finished a plan to fund basic government functions ahead of Friday\u2019s deadline. Although, Schumer went on to say that passing Biden\u2019s sweeping climate change plan by Christmas is a top focus.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis week, Senate Democrats will focus on continuing to meet with the parliamentary so we can finish the technical and procedural fixes necessary for reconciliation,\u201d he stated. \u201c\u2026We\u2019ve been at the task for several months, but we need to take a step back and recognize that we\u2019re hopefully less than a month away from enacting on the largest investment in American people we\u2019ve seen in generations.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes as conservative lawmakers like congressman Steve Scalise (R-La.) say Democrats are on a \u201cbig drunken spending spree\u201d all while neglecting basic forms of government. In a recent interview, Scalise also stressed Democrats have maxed out the nation\u2019s credit card, but will likely blame Republicans somehow when they control the House, Senate and White House. The very next day when discussing the possibility of a shutdown, Schumer placed the majority of the blame on Republicans.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The single best thing we can do to fight inflation is to kill Democrats&#8217; multi-trillion-dollar reckless taxing and spending spree.
