WTMJ: Sen. Johnson Criticizes Obama Budget

The newest senator from Wisconsin is criticizing the President's 2012 budget, which was set to go before Congress on Monday.

The plan promises more than $1 trillion in cuts, but critics like Republican Senator Ron Johnson say it's not enough.

"I'm going (to Washington) with a very, very serious purpose here," said Johnson.

"I have to communicate this to people: we are in an urgent financial situation here.  We have got to start reigning in spending.  We have got to get our deficits and debt under control."

As a former accountant, Senator Johnson says he's looking forward to getting into the details of the budget.
