Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) apparently has little use for the current generation of Wisconsinites and, indeed, Americans in general:
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson would rather see no new coronavirus stimulus bill than one that includes new spending, the Oshkosh Republican said Friday.
Johnson said in a Friday interview with Breitbart News Tonight that he hopes negotiations stay broken down between the Trump administration and House Democratic leaders on a new pandemic relief package given the trillions Democratic leaders proposed in new spending.
“From my standpoint, the breakdown in the talks is very good news. It’s very good news for future generations,” Johnson said. “I hope the talks remain broken down.”
Johnson does not support any new spending that would add to the federal debt, which is at about $22.8 trillion, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. He instead wants any new proposals to spend money already authorized by a relief package passed earlier this year known as the CARES Act. [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]
Seems a bit harsh of me? Well, he can’t hide behind the government debt excuse, because he voted for the 2017 tax reform bill.
So I have no sympathy for that excuse. He just hates Americans.
