Kansas Senator Roger Marshall exposed the truth about what’s really happening in Washington during Tuesday’s budget showdown. While Republicans have done their job and passed eight of twelve spending bills with huge bipartisan support, Chuck Schumer refuses to move forward. This isn’t about keeping the government running – it’s about Schumer’s personal vendetta against President Trump.
Senate Republicans under Susan Collins have worked hard to get the people’s business done. They’ve shown they can govern responsibly and find common ground when needed. But Schumer and his Democratic allies keep throwing up roadblocks at every turn because they can’t accept that Trump won the election fair and square.
The Democrats spent all night pushing worthless amendments about protecting billionaires from tax cuts instead of focusing on real problems. They’re more worried about attacking successful Americans than helping working families who are struggling with high prices. This shows exactly where their priorities lie – with the wealthy elites who fund their campaigns.
Schumer’s latest scheme involves attacking Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency before it even gets started. DOGE represents exactly what Americans voted for – cutting wasteful spending and making government work for the people again. But Democrats hate the idea of shrinking their bloated bureaucracy that’s been bleeding taxpayers dry for decades.
The Democrats keep talking about protecting federal workers while ignoring the millions of private sector workers who pay their salaries. They want to keep throwing money at failed programs while hardworking Americans can barely afford groceries. Their obsession with stopping Trump is more important to them than fixing our broken government.
Republicans are trying to be responsible with taxpayer money while Democrats play political games. Every day Schumer delays these bills, he’s putting government workers and essential services at risk just to score cheap political points. This is exactly the kind of swamp behavior that voters rejected in November.
The American people see right through these delay tactics and partisan games. They want their elected officials to work together and get things done, not waste time on political theater. Schumer needs to stop his obstruction and let Congress do the job they were elected to do.
This budget fight shows the clear difference between the two parties right now. Republicans want to govern and solve problems while Democrats just want to resist and obstruct everything Trump tries to accomplish. It’s time for Schumer to put America first instead of his own political ambitions.
