Mike Johnson, House speaker

“In the time it’s going to take me to deliver this speech, we’ll go up another $20 million in debt.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly True

PolitiFact says: The federal debt goes up by a lot every 20 minutes, and if you look at averages, the increase over that period is more than four times higher than what Johnson said.
