Ron Johnson Defends ‘Big, Beautiful Bill:’ Dems’ Only Solution Is Increase Taxes

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “So, Democrats, their only solution is increase taxes. We don’t want to do that. That harms economic growth. We won’t get the revenue we ever look for. All Democrats do is spend. By the way, they’re talking about, you know, we’re going to, you know, tax cuts for millionaires. No, we’re just not going to increase taxes. They could have done that. In the four years when they were in power, they could have gotten rid of the Tax Cut and Jobs act. They could have increased taxes on every American. That’s what we’re trying to avoid. So, again, Democrats love to spend. I’m not saying that we don’t have Republicans that are big spenders as well. I’ve been focusing on spending, spending, spending, trying to put pressure on the process. And I think right now, the stumbling block is what the Senate bill does, even though we actually reduce spending more, we also make sure that those business tax provisions, which will incentivize growth, are permanent, so that holds a bigger score. But the difference between the House and Senate is about $651 billion.”
