Washington, D.C. – Senator Johnson made the following comments today on the continuing resolution and debt ceiling deal.

“America and its future generations suffered a loss today.  President Obama and Harry Reid may claim a legislative victory, but they have proven, once again, they are more than willing to increase the debt burden on our children and grandchildren. They’re willing to do it without enacting any fiscal discipline or reforms to address America's long-term debt and deficit problem. 

“I am not, so I voted no on this fiscally irresponsible legislation.  I will continue to work tirelessly with anyone willing to acknowledge the enormous fiscal challenges facing America and work with me in good faith to define and solve these problems.”
