Statement from Terry Lundgren and Ken Chenault, Co-Chairs, on Behalf of the Partnership for New York City, on the Failure of the Super Committee to Reach a Deficit Reduction Deal
“The failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction is a serious disappointment. The country is resilient, but Congress has missed a huge opportunity to show leadership by its inability to come to a principled compromise and put the nation on the path to fiscal stability. The Partnership for New York City, representing many of the country’s largest employers, calls on Congress and the White House to get to work on a comprehensive deficit reduction agreement.”
