Tax give away to the rich won't pass before the end of the year says Ron Johnson [View all]

Senator Ron Johnson went on FAUX to whine, as is his habit, today and this is what he said:

FOX: Will we get the tax bill before Memorial Day?
RJ: No way. Unfortunately, Trump chose the one big beautiful bill. What he should've done is multiple steps.
Fox: Before the end of the year?
RJ: Not if we don't come down to pre-pandemic spending
Fox: Oh boy. That's bad news.

Just a day or two ago he had a sad because the tariffs are hurting manufacturing in his state and he went on FAUX to vent. Poor Ron. What can he do? He's just a powerless little Senator.

No one can expect him to support the bill that limits trump's tariffs or use his power to support a fairer tax bill. It's just all too much for Ronny.
