In a surprise “friendly fire” against President Trump, GOP Senator Ron Johnson has taken a bold stand against the former’s spending bill, calling it “grotesque.”

Johnson is sounding the alarm over the bill’s potential to wreak havoc on America’s fiscal future.
Labeling the bill as “immoral” and “grotesque,” he claims to expose the deep flaws in a system that threatens the nation’s economic stability and burdens future generations.
Johnson didn’t shy away from expressing his disdain for the proposed legislation on June 4, 2025, during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
He criticized the bill’s potential to inflate the national deficit by trillions, which could lead to a deficit of $2.6 trillion by the mid-2030s.
A staunch fiscal conservative, Johnson suggested cutting spending to pre-COVID-19 levels, aiming for more responsible budgeting.
The Wisconsin Senator proposes dissecting the bill into two distinct parts—one addressing immediate necessities like the debt ceiling and tax cuts, and the other analyzing the budget for wasteful expenditures.
This separation, he argues, would allow a focused approach to necessary economic reforms while eliminating unnecessary spending.
He warned that high spending could negatively affect bond markets and credit ratings due to excessive borrowing.
Johnson isn’t alone in his criticism, indicating others in the GOP share his concerns but remain less vocal.
The accumulation of these issues makes the bill untenable for Johnson, who, as a Senate Budget Committee member, could stymie its progress.
“This is immoral, what us old farts doing to our young people,” the senator stated, cited by CNBC.
Elon Musk joined the fray calling it a “disgusting abomination,” echoing the sentiment of many frustrated with runaway spending.
Johnson’s insistence on reform isn’t just rhetoric. Addressing both immediate and long-term economic needs, he stands firm against pressure from Republican leadership backing the bill.
Johnson calls for wise deliberation rather than bundling controversial and necessary provisions, a tactic seen as a forced passage method.
By emphasizing the immorality of such fiscal decisions, he appeals for solidarity in rectifying a system exploiting younger generations for political gain.
“This is grotesque, what we’re doing,” Johnson said further.
Despite mounting pressures to conform, Johnson remains unmoved, even hinting at potential leverage to ensure his proposals are taken seriously.
His message of loyalty to future generations demands immediate attention and thorough consideration from both parties involved.
