Washington, D.C. – Senator Ron Johnson (WI) today made the following statement: 

“I’ve been here six months and trust me, the Senate is fiddling while America is going bankrupt. The fact that anyone would even consider recessing at this point in time is absurd. If we let that happen, we’d be guilty of willful neglect. It’s time to get serious about the most urgent problem facing our nation today. It’s time to start working on the problem.”

Johnson was joined by nine other Senators this afternoon, in calling on the Senate to work through the scheduled Fourth of July recess.
