Ron Johnson Rails Against Increased Budget Spending After The Pandemic

Published | Video Starts at 00:39

What this budget is all about is starting to clean up, take the first steps in cleaning up the enormous messes left behind by the Biden administration and his allies, Democrat allies here in Congress. I want to talk about two of them. We're $36.4 trillion in debt. You know, no family. No family. If they were faced with a serious illness and had to borrow $50,000 to pay for medical bills, if that family member got well, would keep borrowing $50,000 and keep spending that level. (00:39–00:42)
