BREAKING: GOP Senator Ron Johnson Says He Now Has The Votes to Stop The One Big Beautiful Bill (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 25, 2025 | Jordan Conradson

Posted on 05/25/2025 1:44:28 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

On Sunday, Johnson made an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union and told Jake Tapper that there are enough Republicans in the Senate to “stop the process until the President gets serious about the spending reduction and reducing the deficit.”

WATCH:

How many other Republican Senators do you think share your concerns and are willing to work to make major changes to this bill?

I think we have enough to stop the process until the President gets serious about the spending reduction and reducing the deficit.

There is no amount of spending cuts that could ever retire the national debt or even balance the budget. The Treasury could convert all the bonds to dollars and zero out its accounts tomorrow if it decided to, but it offers a reliable way for big money to park their excess dollars and keep the dollar the reserve currency of the world.

The problem has never been about debt. The Federal Reserve is like the Bank of Monopoly. If the Treasury needs dollars to pay its obligations, the Fed gives its members dollars to buy anything the Treasury sells to raise funds.

The problem has always been about spending the government funds in ways that promote growth, peace, security, and stability. What the politicians do is take from one group and redistribute wealth to their donors, causing inflation. If leaders understood how to make beneficial choices for the country’s good, we’d look like Saudi Arabia and Dubai rather than San Francisco and New York.

Johnson acts like if its up to Trump to come up with a bill, he’s NOT a member of Congress or Senate, its NOT his job to make bills, he just wants his agenda to be put through, how its done is up to them!

Not counting on anything but ready to donate.

I can relate to that strategy ... Wis-Con-Sin is ruled by the Mad-i-son commies ... and there is really very little separation of the left to the right ... hence lying Ryan ... who I voted for with that degenerate Mitt Romney... so it is not as if I have repulsed these two faced politicians forever...

I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace, that two become a lawfirm, and that three or more become a congress.

No bill is perfect. Hopefully the Senate can make it better. I’m afraid they will make it more expensive.

Its now time for the Senate to put its 2 cents in. These folks love to wield their perceived leverage. Its basically extortion because even Johnson can bought… just have to find out what he really wants.

“Decrease the debt” and “decrease taxes for the rich” are things that don’t go together.

He should write a DOGE bill that will do that.

Yep. He is a fraud. Right now, he is still playing tidily winks about Biden’s mental downgrade while in office... He targets easy and known targets and ignores real matters.

That’s correct.

Remember “Repeal Obamacare”? It turned into “Repeal and Replace” like thier ideas are any better. Still a federal solution to a problem they created.

We demanded repeal and they said, “we need the Senate”. We gave them the Senate. They said, “we need the White House”. We gave them Trump.

Then McCain the traitor said NO.

So in 2018 they lost Congress. And they wanted to.
