Congress isn’t getting the job done, and Rep. Tim Burchett didn’t mince words when he told Newsmax that Republicans must stop playing games and start turning President Trump’s executive actions into actual law. Burchett argued the American people didn’t hand the GOP a narrow House majority so lawmakers could tinker at the edges — they sent them to deliver results on border security, the economy, and accountability in Washington.
If you’ve watched Congress lately you’ll see what Burchett sees: an institution that behaves more like a juvenile club than a body of adults entrusted with our children’s future. He’s blasted continuing resolutions, called out dishonest funding bills, and described the maturity level on Capitol Hill as something closer to “junior high school,” not the sober, hard-working governance Americans deserve.
Burchett laid out the remedy plainly: codify the president’s priorities into law, secure the border, revive the economy, and stop funding Washington’s waste. He even pushed for tariffs structured so the money flows back to taxpayers instead of lining bureaucrats’ pockets — a common-sense move that would reward American workers and slash the incentive for reckless spending.
The congressman also exposed the real mechanics behind the paralysis: entrenched committee staff, lobbyists on speed dial, and a committee system that can kill good bills before members even see them. That’s not accidental; it’s the swamp protecting itself, which is why outsiders and watchdogs keep insisting real reform must start from the inside out.
Let’s be clear — conservatives can’t cheer from the bleachers while pretending we care about results. If Republicans truly believe they have a mandate, they must stop with symbolic votes and pass legislation that fixes what’s broken, not paper over it with another temporary CR or bloated omnibus. Voters will remember who fought for them and who folded for the sake of Washington’s comfort.
Burchett’s message is a wake-up call for every patriot tired of the status quo: demand lawmakers stop with the excuses and start delivering for the people who put them there. Support the fighters who push for real border enforcement, fiscal sanity, and legislative victories that actually help hardworking Americans instead of propping up the permanent political class.
