Five employees at the company run by U.S. Senate hopeful Ron Johnson are on a government-funded health plan for low-income people, according to information obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.
Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold said the news is more evidence that his Republican opponent supports government aid when it helps his company, but not when it benefits others. Johnson’s campaign countered that Feingold is slinging mud to deflect attention away from his record.
How’s that ‘slinging mud?’ The AP‘s information is accurate, and Feingold’s point about Johnson favoring government aid at least some of the time (when his company benefits) seems valid.
More evidence that Johnson’s no libertarian.
