Congress Has Failed America: 28 Years of Excuses, Corruption, and Chaos | Karel Cast 25-145
For nearly three decades, Congress has failed to do its most basic job — pass a full budget on time. The last time they did? 1997. The last time America actually balanced that budget? 2001. Since then, Congress has survived on stopgaps, continuing resolutions, and backroom deals that keep the lights on but leave the country broken.
While Americans struggle with healthcare costs, gun violence, and rising inequality, Congress plays politics. Roe v. Wade? They could’ve made it law. Single-payer healthcare? They could’ve acted. Tax fairness, climate action, reining in tariffs, or even holding Trump accountable — all in their power, all ignored.
This shutdown and every national crisis like it trace back to one truth: Congress doesn’t work. It’s time we demand accountability from the only branch that’s supposed to represent us — and doesn’t.
