Despite Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn’s break from the bipartisan “Gang of Six” budget negotiations, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., vowed Wednesday to push on with the effort to fashion a compromise plan to tackle the nation’s long-term deficit. Warner and Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., are leading the group, which has been huddling over the past five months to find a way to trim the country’s ever-ballooning deficit by more than $4 trillion over the next 10 years.

“We’ve made way too much progress to not keep moving forward,” Warner said Wednesday. “I still expect that we’re going to have a product.”
