This morning Senator Warner and Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) talked to NPR Morning Edition’s Steve Inskeep about the bipartisan deficit reduction plan proposed this week by the “Gang of Six.”

“For the last 50 years we’ve had such a strong economy that for the most part we could tinker around the edges and the machine of our economy kept moving forward.” Senator Warner said. “Well, as we’ve seen in Europe and now we have to recognize here, we’ve got to do more than tinker around the edges, and that scares folks. Change always scares folks.”
