Congressman Tim Burchett has been tapped to chair the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency—DOGE—and he made it plain on Newsmax’s America Right Now that his top priority is simple and patriotic: save taxpayers’ money. Burchett accepted the job from Oversight Chairman James Comer on January 9, 2026, and immediately pledged a relentless focus on rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government. His message should resonate with every hard-working American tired of seeing their dollars flushed down bureaucratic drains.
This is not a ceremonial post: DOGE was created to cut the kind of reckless spending that has become routine in Washington, and Burchett isn’t promising platitudes—he’s promising audits, subpoenas, and an aggressive pursuit of improper payments. He has publicly vowed to slash red tape, modernize federal technology where it makes sense, and investigate the billions the bureaucracy misplaces every year. If conservatives want actual results instead of show votes, this subcommittee is where the rubber meets the road.
Make no mistake: the swamp will not go quietly. Every entrenched program and contractor that benefits from government largesse will lobby, litigate, and lie to keep their gravy train running. That’s why we need fighters like Burchett—plain-spoken, relentless, and accountable to taxpayers—not career technocrats who see the federal balance sheet as an endless ATM for pet projects and cushy contracts.
Burchett steps into the role following the resignation of Marjorie Taylor Greene, who left Congress in early January after a bitter public split with President Trump and intra-party drama that proved once again how divided Washington can be. Her departure opened the door for decisive, experienced conservatives to take over oversight roles and deliver on promises to rein in waste. The GOP majority must stop squabbling and back leaders who actually believe in fiscal responsibility.
If Burchett follows through, the payoff will be measured in real dollars returned to the people who earned them, not in headlines for the permanent political class. Conservatives should rally behind his war on waste, demand transparency, and insist on prosecutions where fraud is found—no exceptions, no sweetheart deals. For the sake of taxpayers and the future of a leaner, more effective government, Burchett must be given the tools and the public support to finish what DOGE was created to start.
