Senator Ron Johnson Announces his Support for Senator Toomey's Budget

Published | Video Starts at 01:39

I mean, that's simply not serious. So I am happy to co sponsor this budget that Senator Toomey has proposed. It is a serious budget. It shows, it proves that It is possible to balance a budget within 10 years. It also shows that everything eventually will have to be on the table. We simply can't take a look at a 15% slice of our budget and think we're going to balance it from that. (01:39–01:43)
