A bipartisan group of lawmakers attempting to hash out a plan to reduce the government’s budget deficits has made “enormous” progress and may be able to present a proposal soon, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad said.
Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat and a member of the so-called “Gang of Six,” said on “Fox News Sunday” that the group needs to reach agreement soon to have an impact on the debate about what spending changes are needed to win approval for increasing the federal debt limit.
