Sen. Johnson: We 'probably will' shut down government if Dems are demanding $1.5T of spending

Published | Video Starts at 04:05

We've had 55 continuing resolutions, 55. We've had I think 12 either increases or suspension of the debt ceiling. We've gone from $14 trillion to $37 trillion. Obviously out of control. It's rare we ever pass any appropriation bill prior to the end of fiscal year. Let's just admit that we're not capable of doing that. The only thing I suggest my op ed is let's, let's do some budgetary reforms and if we take the drum, if we take all the partisanship out of just funding government, just haven't continue.
