Perry Johnson Speaks to Newsmax: A Thrilling Race Commences on the Debate Stage
GOP presidential candidate Perry Johnson believes that the race for the nomination really begins on the debate stage, despite former President Donald Trump’s lead in the polls. Johnson plans to present his plan to cut discretionary spending during the debate. His plan involves freezing the nation’s budget and cutting two cents from every dollar of discretionary spending. He also suggests getting rid of certain departments, such as the Department of Education, and sending the money directly to the states. Johnson believes that the economy is the nation’s most serious issue and criticizes the government for spending the country into significant debt. He argues that the government’s injection of $4.5 trillion into the economy without supplying goods and services has led to inflation. Johnson emphasizes the need to address the country’s debt, which is nearly seven times the amount collected in taxes each year.
