Congress is back from their month-long vacation, and guess what they left behind? A massive pile of unfinished business that could shut down our government in just three weeks. While hardworking Americans were struggling with high prices and economic uncertainty, our elected officials were enjoying their summer break.
The biggest crisis facing America right now is government funding running out on September 30th. The Senate has only passed three out of twelve needed spending bills, and the House managed just two. This is exactly the kind of Washington failure that drives regular folks crazy.
Democrat leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are already demanding meetings and pointing fingers at Republicans. They want more spending and more government waste, just like always. These are the same Democrats who have been driving up inflation and making life harder for American families.
The good news is that Republicans are standing firm on fiscal responsibility. They know that endless government spending is crushing our economy and hurting working people. President Trump’s vision for smaller government through the Department of Government Efficiency is exactly what America needs right now.
The White House just proved how out of touch they are by cutting five billion dollars in foreign aid without even talking to Congress. While American citizens struggle to pay their bills, this administration was sending billions overseas. That money should be helping Americans first, not funding foreign projects.
Republican leaders like House Speaker Mike Johnson are fighting to include real spending cuts in the next budget. The DOGE recommendations for government efficiency need to be part of any deal moving forward. We cannot keep throwing taxpayer money at bloated bureaucracies that do not serve the American people.
Democrats are demanding bipartisan cooperation, but what they really mean is Republicans should roll over and approve more wasteful spending. True bipartisanship means both parties working together to cut waste and put America first. That is not what the Democrats want to hear.
The next three weeks will show whether Congress cares more about political games or serving the American people. Republicans must stay strong and demand real spending cuts and government reforms. Our country depends on leaders who will fight for fiscal responsibility and put hardworking Americans ahead of Washington special interests.
