Sen. Johnson: House bill ‘actually increases’ deficit
- Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, criticized the House bill that narrowly passed last week for increasing the federal deficit.
- Johnson claimed enough Republican senators oppose the bill and want to stall its progress until the president prioritizes spending reduction.
- He and other Senate fiscal hawks argue the budget reconciliation process under the bill would raise the deficit instead of lowering it.
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected that the bill may add approximately $3.8 trillion to the deficit over the coming ten years.
- These objections suggest the bill faces challenges in the Senate and may undergo changes to address deficit concerns.
