MARK WARNER: $4T in debt cuts shouldn’t be an ‘ultimate heavy lift.’

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) is urging the bipartisan “supercommittee” tasked with deficit cuts to pursue a deal in the $4 trillion range.

Warner, a centrist Democrat, used an interview with Bloomberg to urge the panel to “go big, go bold” when they negotiate this fall.

“We’re not going to solve the problem overnight, but, you know, a 10-year plan to reduce $4 trillion in debt should not be the kind of ultimate heavy lift. You know, if we don’t step up and do that, then I don’t think we are doing our country a service,” Warner said on the program “Political Capital” airing this weekend.

Even that’s barely a beginning.
