Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., broke ranks with other conservatives Wednesday when he made the remarks to a local television station. Chambliss is a member of the Gang of Six, a bipartisan group of senators tasked with finding a solution to the country’s fiscal woes.
“I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge,” Sen. Saxby Chambliss told WMAZ-TV. “If we do it his way then we’ll continue in debt, and I just have a disagreement with him about that.”
Congress and the White House face a year-end deadline to reach a deal that staves off an avalanche of tax increases and deep cuts in government programs – commonly referred to now as the “fiscal cliff.”
