Ron Johnson: No New Tax Cuts

Published | Video Starts at 02:44

The fact of the matter is they use Keynesian economics. They indebted US to another $2.4 trillion in the last three years. Total employment's down since when [the Keynesian economic program] started. It hasn't worked. It just hasn't worked. We've dug ourselves such a deep hole.
