In a recent interview, Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin scrutinized the actions of what he termed a 'lawless Administration' led by Democrats, particularly regarding their handling of the Supreme Court's eviction moratorium ruling and student loan forgiveness. He cites the $1.7 trillion student debt crisis, which he attributes to policies initiated during the Obama Administration, especially the federal takeover of student loans. Johnson argues that this situation is unfair to individuals who have either paid off their loans or opted not to attend college, as it shifts the financial burden to them. He emphasizes that government involvement in student loans leads to increased tuition and greater debt due to the lack of accountability compared to private lenders. Johnson also addressed recent comments from Vice President Kamala Harris regarding the necessity of increased spending to stimulate the economy, questioning how her proposed $3 trillion expenditure could be financed. He argued that the wealthiest Americans already contribute a significant portion of taxes, suggesting that any further attempts to increase taxation may discourage economic success. Johnson warns that should Democrats gain control of both houses of Congress alongside the White House, they could implement changes detrimental to taxpayers, including tax increases and more aggressive government control. He stressed the importance of defeating the current administration to prevent legislative changes that could negatively impact the economy and individual freedoms.
