Last December, Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Mark Warner held a news conference on the need for a bipartisan plan to combat the federal deficit.

“He understands the rhythms of the Senate. ... I’m much more impatient.” 

Chambliss said his approach is to ask experts what is needed and work to build bipartisan bridges so they can become law.

“I’m not necessarily an idea guy,” he said. 

Still, Chambliss said, the scope of the problem isn’t that hard to figure out.

“This is not rocket science to figure how big of a trouble we’re in,” he said.
