Senator Johnson Discusses Victims of Government on The Kudlow Report

Published | Video Starts at 04:11

Again, put a face on the harm that government actually does. Real people, real individuals and you know, by the way, economic harm. You guys are talking about economic growth. I mean what Steve wanted to develop that, he wanted to build homes around that lake. 23 years later, after he's invested $300,000, he's on the verge of bankruptcy and those developments never happened. Senator Jimmy Williams, I have a question. Do you think the FDA should regulate baby food? Listen, we do need regulation, there's no doubt about it. (04:11–04:24)
