Senator Johnson Criticizes Election Opponent
U.S. Senator Ron Johnson attacked his opponent on several fronts during a recent stop at the KFIZ studios this week. Johnson says former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold voted for the Affordable Care Act which was an unmitigated disaster. He says it needs to be repealed and replaced with free market reforms that will allow consumers to make health care decisions and give them the freedom of choice. He says Feingold also wants to increase regulation. He says his opponent also supported the “Waters of the U.S.” rule which forces farmers to go to the Army Corps of Engineers to get permits. He says some of the permits take up to two years to get and cost $250,000. He says it turns navigable waters into intermittent streams. He also criticized Feingold over the national debt and national security.
