Ron Johnson to Obama: Mind Your Own Deficit

Madison, Wisc.

Last week, President Obama said that Wisconsin governor Scott Walker’s budget bill is an “assault on workers.” Today, Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson said Obama should mind his own business.

“The president really ought to concentrate on the $1.65 trillion deficit on the national level … rather than put his nose in Wisconsin’s business,” Johnson told THE WEEKLY STANDARD this afternoon. “He needs to show the kind of leadership that Scott Walker is showing, unlike he did in his budget that’s going to add $13 trillion to our national debt over the next ten years.”
