Senator Warner spoke to Fox News today about the debt ceiling deal and the continuing need for a longer-term deficit reduction package. As founder of the Gang of Six, Senator Warner helped develop a package that would cut $3.7 trillion from the deficit.

“I think this plan is much too small. We need to be closer to $4 trillion in debt reduction. We need to address the two major problems that are not addressed in this plan.” Senator Warner said. “I think there is a group of us, a bigger group than the so-called gang of six that will keep pushing for a bigger solution. Whoever is on this committee needs to make sure that they hear from voices that say we need to be really serious.”
