Johnson Critiques Trump's Spending Bill, Deficit Concerns Remain | JQJO

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) criticized President Trump's proposed spending bill, arguing it insufficiently addresses the national deficit. Johnson stated the bill doesn't return spending to pre-pandemic levels and projects a continued rise in the national debt, reaching potentially $62 trillion within 10 years. He advocates for a return to pre-pandemic spending baselines, suggesting cuts while preserving essential programs like Social Security and Medicare. Johnson expressed reservations about the bill but stopped short of committing to opposing it.
