In the wake of comments criticizing the White House for not preparing to potentially hit the nation’s debt ceiling, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson has signed onto a letter calling on the Obama administration to develop a contingency plan “just in case.”
“We are calling on your Administration to immediately begin working with budget experts in Congress to allocate spending within a $2.6 trillion Debt Ceiling Budget,” the letter reads. “All agency heads should then be instructed to develop plans to make sure essential services would be funded on a priority basis.”
Johnson, R-Oshkosh, and 22 of his Senate GOP colleagues co-signed the letter.
