Fool Me Once Shame On You, Fool Me Twice Shame on Me

Fool Me Once, Shame on You – Mike Johnson and the Same Old Washington GameSam Bushman delivers a sharp critique of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson in this Liberty Roundtable live short. Despite promises of fiscal responsibility, Johnson has followed in the footsteps of his predecessors, raising the debt ceiling while claiming to cut spending—a contradictory approach that Sam calls out as disastrous.Sam draws parallels to The Who’s 1971 anthem, “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” noting that the new boss seems no different from the old boss. He questions why Washington continues the cycle of reckless spending and empty promises, urging real accountability and action to restore fiscal sanity.With Donald Trump advocating for the elimination of the debt ceiling and Johnson supporting this agenda, Sam emphasizes the need for bold leadership willing to make meaningful cuts and tackle wasteful spending. Leaders like Rand Paul, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others have shown pathways for reform—but will Washington listen?
