Sen. Ron Johnson

My guess is it's more than 50%. And, of course, that's the death knell of a democracy is when the population, the voting public, realizes they can vote themselves benefits at the expense of somebody else. And what they don't realize, the expenses, it's costing them all because the massive deficit spending, because we're not taking enough revenue to cover the expenditures.

That's what has eroded the value of our dollar. That's what caused 40-year high inflation. And that hurts everybody.

From government levels. Again, I shouldn't even say because I haven't checked that figure. Yeah. My guess is probably more than 50%. I mean, when you consider all the entitlements, whether it's Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and people say, oh, that's my money. Well... In some cases, it is. Most people probably get more out of Social Security than they actually did put in.

Certainly do that out of Medicare, certainly out of Medicaid. Nobody puts any money into that. That all comes out of the general funds. So we have food stamps. We have all these trillions of dollars worth of transfer payments.

Well, again, when I ran in 2010, we'd just experienced our first deficits in excess of a trillion dollars. We were spending about $3.5 trillion a year, 3.5. So it's more than double just since 2010? Yeah, yes.

I remember I announced in April of 2010, started my campaign in basically June 2010 doing parades. And what I would shout is this is a fight for freedom. We're mortgaging our children's future. It's wrong. It's immoral. It has to stop. That was my campaign theme. Again, we were $14 trillion in debt, spending $3.5 trillion. Now, we're almost $37 trillion in debt.

We're spending $7,000 billion, $7 trillion. And CBO projects... Over the next 10 years, we will add another $22 trillion to the debt. That's what our projected deficits over the next 10 years is, $22 trillion. Again, that's assuming about a $4 trillion increase because taxes are scheduled to automatically increase.
