but the real point is that ron johnson and others who think like him are playing to a smaller audience. that they hope will become a bigger audience of conservatives who say, look, this is not just covid relief, but this is liberal overreach. and that there s too much in this bill that goes beyond what is needed for covid. and they want to begin to make an argument that they ll make more next year about why congress has to return to republican hands. it s obviously difficult to make that argument in the face of needed relief for so many people and especially when you re giving away money, which is going end to up being pretty popular to most people. why didn t senator johnson reject when president donald trump ran up the debt by $7 trillion? i mean, this newfound like commitment to fiscal responsibility is just a joke now it s a joke after the last four years. you can argue that this isn t targeted enough. i mean, there are legitimate arguments, obviously, on both sides,
