Sen. Ron Johnson: Federal Spending Is On Autopilot; "Out of Sight, Out Of Mind, And Totally Out Of Control"

  • I'm generally the skunk in the room, or, you know, the kid who says the emperor has no clothes. I just ask my colleagues, "Hey, does anybody know how much we spent last year in total?" Dead silence. What the federal government spent in total.

In a video published on RealClearPolitics on May 29, 2025, Senator Ron Johnson criticizes the current state of federal spending, describing it as being "on autopilot, out of sight, out of mind, and totally out of control." He expresses concern over the lack of transparency and accountability in government expenditures, emphasizing that mandatory spending programs, which constitute a significant portion of the federal budget, are not subject to regular review or reform. Johnson calls for greater oversight and reform to address the unsustainable trajectory of the national debt, warning that failure to act could lead to severe economic consequences for future generations.
