Alfredo Ortiz, president and CEO of Job Creators Network, released the following statement in response to today’s debt ceiling meeting between President Biden and Speaker McCarthy:
“President Biden waited almost 100 days to sit down with Speaker McCarthy to negotiate over the debt ceiling yet tries to claim that he is ‘blameless’ if a deal isn’t made. Now Biden is trying to scuttle a compromise by demanding tax hikes in the latest negotiations. Biden talks about “finishing the job,” but it’s time he started the job on coming to a debt ceiling deal by agreeing to cut spending to help ordinary Americans and small businesses deal with historic inflation and a lack of access to credit.”
