Congressman James Comer is pushing hard to get President Trump’s budget plan through Congress. He says it’s time for Republicans to stop fighting and pass the bill. Comer argues the budget will cut wasteful spending and make the government work better for taxpayers. But some Republicans are dragging their feet, putting the whole plan at risk.
Comer called out fellow Republicans for blocking a procedural vote needed to move the budget forward. He said their objections are slowing down important reforms. The bill they’re fighting over isn’t even the final budget—it’s just a step to start debate. Comer warned that delays could hurt Trump’s agenda to secure the border and cut taxes.
The budget fight comes as Comer’s committee uncovered shocking government waste. Taxpayers spent $4.6 billion on office furniture nobody uses because federal workers won’t return to their desks. Comer says this shows why Trump’s plan to shrink the bureaucracy is urgent. His committee is pushing bills to let Trump fast-track cuts to bloated agencies.
Democrats are fighting every step. They’ve tried to block Trump’s team from streamlining government operations. Comer says Democrats care more about protecting union perks than stopping waste. His new bill would force Congress to vote quickly on Trump’s cost-cutting plans, bypassing their obstruction.
The House barely passed Trump’s budget blueprint last month—217 to 215. Every Democrat voted against it, and 40 Republicans nearly sank it. Comer says holdouts need to put America first. The budget aims to slash $2 trillion in spending over ten years while making Trump’s tax cuts permanent.
Conservatives praise Comer for exposing how bureaucrats abuse taxpayer money. During a hearing, he showed how agencies waste millions on empty buildings and useless supplies. Comer says this proves why Trump’s push to “drain the swamp” matters. His committee is working to pass seven bills that would save billions by cutting red tape.
President Trump has backed Comer’s efforts, saying the budget will secure the border and boost the economy. Comer warns that if Republicans don’t unite, Democrats will keep pushing big-government policies. He’s urging lawmakers to ignore the media attacks and focus on delivering results for voters.
The clock is ticking. Congress has until fall to finalize the budget, but Comer says the work must start now. He’s confident Trump’s leadership will overcome the gridlock. With inflation still high, Comer argues there’s no time to waste in cutting spending and putting America back on track.
