Senator Ron Johnson Discusses Spending Bill and Deficit Concerns

Published | Video Starts at 06:19

So keep me in power with no tax rise and that'll start to come down because of the money coming in. Is the President wrong? Yes. Hate to say it, I'm a big supporter of the President. But right now The White House is putting out a memo saying that tariff revenue over the next 10 years will be about $2.8 trillion. Again, that compares to a $22 trillion deficit. And by the way, if you extend the tax taxes, they admit that the baseline goes up to about $25 trillion. (06:19–06:24)

CLAIM

Asserts that the White House projects $2.8 trillion in tariff revenue over the next decade.
