Johnson: It Will Take A Recession To Fix Biden’s “Mess”

“I’m old enough to remember when Ronald Reagan took office and inflation was completely out of control, he and Paul Volcker had to take some pretty bold and swift action to tame inflation, that included a pretty severe recession. But that’s what it took, when you come into office and you are inheriting enormous messes across, across the spectrum. It’s hard to clean up those enormous messes, so I appreciate that President Trump has acted boldly, swiftly, decisively to clean up some of these messes.” – Sen. Ron Johnson, today on CNN’s State Of The Union.
