Senator Warner promoted bipartisan Startup Act 2.0 legislation he is sponsoring on CNN’s John King last night. Startup aims to jumpstart job creation by helping American entrepreneurs win the global competition for talent. Of course, the Senator could not pass up an opportunity to talk about his continuing efforts to craft comprehensive, bipartisan agreement on the deficit.

“The Senators sponsoring this bill – we call it Startup 2.0 – are all new guys, and we didn’t get the memo that you’re supposed to take election years off,” Senator Warner said. “This bill isn’t going to solve all the problems, but it really goes and looks at where job creation has taken place in the last 20 years.”

“The biggest thing of all we could that we could do for job creation is put in place a real deficit reduction plan that will generate additional revenues and that will do entitlement reforms that we need.”
