(Just The News)—Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said Thursday that the U.S. is mortgaging the next generation’s future as the U.S. is on track to spend $89.3 trillion over the next 10 years.
“We’re mortgaging our children’s future,” Johnson said on a Just the News special with the Association for Mature Americans (AMAC). “It’s wrong. It’s immoral. It’s gotta stop. There you go. That was my campaign theme in 2010 that got me elected. It’s been my primary focus again.”
Johnson has been one of the Republicans in the Senate opposed to President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” that passed the House earlier this month. Johnson, like some other Senate Republicans, is opposed to the bill because of concerns about how much it will increase the deficit. The Department of the Treasury says that the country’s deficit is $1.05 trillion for the fiscal year 2025. The bill also includes key factors of the president’s agenda, such as no taxes on tips, increased border security funding and extending the president’s 2017 tax cuts.
Johnson said when he was elected to the Senate in 2010, the debt was only $14 trillion. “Now it’s $37 trillion,” Johnson said. “The current CBO estimate, the most recent one-they have projects spending $89.3 trillion over the next 10 years, incurring another $22 trillion worth of deficits. That means $2.2 trillion per year.”
Johnson said the government doesn’t have a revenue problem, but a spending problem.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
