Mark Warner actually said...

"we cannot cut our way or we cannot tax our way simply to prosperity. We also have to have a growth agenda."

"the fact that it includes a mix of spending cuts and new revenue reflects the values and principles of balance and fairness that the vast majority of Americans have clearly stated they support."

"deficit reduction needs to be done in a balanced way, and includes a responsible mix of spending cuts and new revenue from those who can afford it the most."

"we are going to be under tight fiscal constraints for as far as the eye can see, and we just do not have room for inefficient programs in this Federal Government"
