Part 2/5:
During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Johnson laid out his reasons for opposing the tariff dividend initiative. He emphasized the fiscal constraints facing the United States, stating, "We can't afford it. I wish we're in a position to return the American public their money, but we're not." Johnson pointed to the country's ballooning deficit, which he indicates is projected to reach at least a trillion dollars this year, thus making such large-scale payouts financially unfeasible within the current budget constraints.
