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

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.

Never underestimate their incompetence and the fact that their entire agenda is actually unpopular with the voters! Welcome to DU!

... "I was really counting on those trickle-down dollars," said a man who told us his name was Jack. We found Jack rooting through trashcans outside a fastfood drive-through. He explained that ever since he lost his part-time sales job as a result of new tariffs, he had been waiting hopefully for Congress to extend the tax-cuts. "I just don't see any other option" ...

Millions of Americans riot to demand new tax-cuts for billionaires

I think it's great that the tax bill is in trouble. Wanted to state that for the record.
