I'm not a political pundit.
From Ron Johnson
I'm an accountant. I'm a manufacturer from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, who stepped up to the plate, and now I'm a U.S. senator.
Debt ceiling is something that, you know, any time the president asks for the authority to increase the debt ceiling, the debt burden on our children and grandchildren, I think that requires a pretty serious discussion, robust debate.
If we weren't running deficits, if we weren't spending more than we were taking in, there would be no reason whatsoever to increase the debt ceiling.
If you manage things properly - and, listen, I'm a business guy. I've got to prioritize spending in all my business career to prevent my business from going bankrupt. The federal government has got to start doing that eventually as well.
What we should be doing is responsibly addressing the primary drivers of our debt and deficit issues.
Vladimir Putin is only going to respond to action, strength, and resolve. He's not going to respond to words.
I believe the U.S. has been way too silent on the brutality, the lack of human rights in the Muslim world for women.
The only area that I would agree with minimum wage is in immigration reform, the guest worker program.
I'd be 100 percent supportive of a minimum wage - kind of industry specific, maybe regionally specific - for guest workers, so that we're not creating incentives for employers to bring in immigrants to lower the price of labor.
