Sen. Johnson Slams the Trump Tax Bill: We Need to Stop Mortgaging Our Children‘s Future, It‘s Immoral and Has to Stop
RUSH EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: "Well, in 2010, I sprang out of the tea party movement, and as I did parades, my I would shout, this is a fight for freedom. We are mortgaging our children‘s future. It‘s wrong. It‘s immoral. It has to stop. I haven‘t changed my campaign promise in 2010, and every campaign after that was to stop mortgaging our children‘s future. It‘s immoral. It‘s wrong. It has to stop. And so he may not be worried about that. I‘m extremely worried about that. That is my primary goal running for for Congress. This is our moment. We‘ve witnessed an unprecedented level of increased spending, 58% since 2019. Other than world war two. This is this is our only chance to reset that to a reasonable pre-pandemic level of spending. And again, I think you can do it in the spending that we would eliminate. People wouldn‘t even notice. But you have to do the work, which takes time. That‘s probably the process. The problem here is we‘ve rushed this process. We haven‘t taken the time. We‘ve done the same old way, exempt most programs. Take a look at a couple, tweak them a little bit, try and rely on cbo score and then have that score completely out of context with anything that really we ought to be talking about, like the $22 trillion of additional deficit over the next 10 years."
