Priorities

Senator Warner appeared on Morning Joe with Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) yesterday morning. The Senators discussed their original “Gang of Six” effort, along with their new 45-Senator strong push for a more comprehensive deficit reduction package from the supercommittee.

“We’ve now built our group from the so-called ‘gang of six’ to 45 senators saying to the supercommittee, ‘You go big, find $3 trillion, and make revenue through tax reform, entitlement reform - We’ve got your back,’” Senator Warner told Mika and Joe.

“The fact of the matter is, you can’t do this with just reducing spending, you can’t do it with just reforming entitlements, and you can’t just do it on the revenue side. It takes a combination of all three, and the more you’re involved in it like Pelosi and Boehner have been over the last several weeks, the more you realize that,” Senator Chambliss added.
