Discussion with Senator Ron Johnson on Federal Spending and Budget Reforms

Published | Video Starts at 11:40

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to reset federal spending that has been exploded by Democrats. You know, the initial pandemic spending, that was bipartisan, but we never should. We should have returned to pre-pandemic spending back in 2021, 2022. We haven't done it. Thank you for coming on making this case. I agree with everything Senator Ron Johnson just said. If people agree with you, what would you ask them to do? (11:40–11:46)
