Sen. Johnson: House bill 'actually increases' deficit

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) pressed back on the House version of a sweeping domestic policy measure meant to advance President Trump's agenda during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday, arguing it will exacerbate the national deficit.

"We need to be responsible, and the first goal of our budget reconciliation process should be to reduce the deficit," Johnson said. "This actually increases it."

"I'm sorry, the House bill would probably add, I've calculated, $4 trillion," he added.
