U.S. Senator Ron Johnson Votes YES On Big Ugly Bill
After spending months criticizing the bill as a way to get attention, Johnson confirms that he will vote yes to gut Medicaid, food security for children, and tax cuts for his billionaire buddies — all while adding over $3 trillion to the deficit
MADISON, Wis. — Despite spending the last two months, doing at least 51 interviews, criticizing the Big Ugly Bill, Sen. Ron Johnson has voted yes on the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill. Johnson justified his flip-flop by claiming “this is about as good as we can get.” The bill will gut Medicaid – which roughly 1.3 million of his constituents rely on – and add trillions of dollars to the national debt, all while increasing tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. In addition, the bill will jeopardize food security for children and veterans.
