Business Leaders Support Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015

Washington – Business Roundtable today issued the following statement in support of the agreement reached by congressional leaders and the Administration to raise the debt limit while addressing key budget issues:

“Business Roundtable urges Congress and the Administration to act swiftly to approve a two-year agreement on the debt limit and federal budget,” said Mark Weinberger, Global Chairman and CEO of EY and Chair of the Business Roundtable Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee. “A timely, bipartisan agreement will provide confidence to consumers and businesses and prevent fiscal uncertainty that could rattle global markets and economic growth.”

“The U.S. economy relies on predictable and sound government actions to help create the conditions for economic growth that allow for job creation and long-term investments,” said Randall Stephenson, Chairman and CEO of AT&T Inc. and Chairman of Business Roundtable. “We commend Congress and the Administration for reaching common ground on a deal and urge quick passage to ensure fiscal stability for U.S. businesses.”

In September, Business Roundtable sent a letter urging congressional leaders to address fiscal and budget challenges. Learn more about Business Roundtable positions on tax and fiscal policy here and the 2015 growth agenda here.
