Johnson Delivers Remarks on Covid Relief Bill
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) announced Wednesday that he plans to force a reading of the full $1.9 trillion bill once it is formally proposed by Democrats. In a speech on the Senate floor, Sen. Johnson outlined his concerns about the runaway costs of the bill and put its price tag into some context.
Below is an excerpt from his speech and a video of the full speech can be found here. Graphics used by Sen. Johnson to illustrate the cost of the bill can be found here and here.
“My suggestion: At least, while we’re considering this, let’s have a debate. Let’s have a discussion. Let’s consider the amendments. Let’s not do this in 20, 24, 30 hours. Let’s take the time to seriously consider what we are doing to our children.”
