Ron Johnson is right: Breakdown of coronavirus aid talks is actually a good thing

Congressional efforts to reach bipartisan agreement on another wave of stimulus legislation have ground to a halt.

While voters normally prefer to see legislators reach a compromise, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin argues we’ll all be better off if no deal is reached. “From my standpoint, the breakdown in the talks is very good news,” Johnson said in a Monday interview. “It’s very good news for future generations. I hope the talks remain broken down.”
