Press Release "The Cooper-LaTourette amendment is based on several key principles that must be part of any responsible fiscal plan... Unlike the sequester and other changes set to occur at the end of the year, these reforms would be phased in gradually to avoid harming our fragile economic recovery."

Press Release "We are very encouraged to see members of both parties actually working together to put forward a budget based on the recommendations of the Fiscal Commission bipartisan plan to put our nation on a solid path towards fiscal responsibility and reform. We are most certainly on an unsustainable path, and this bipartisan plan makes some sensible choices to achieve long-term fiscal stability."
Op-Ed In the end, Al and I choose to remain optimistic about the chances for fiscal reform and about the future of this country. The political system doesn’t always move quickly or steadily, but the magnitude of the challenges ahead will require it to act.
Op-Ed Not to decide is to decide. If we in the business community allow members of Congress to think that doing nothing is OK, then that’s exactly what they’ll do.
Press Release Our leaders in Washington must work together to reach a bipartisan agreement on our long-term budgets now, not after the election. We remain hopeful that this leadership could soon come from the growing number of members of Congress from both parties who are expressing support for a truly serious deficit reduction plan. Our nation's leaders desperately need to put politics aside, pull together, not pull apart, and make the difficult choices needed to bring these destructive deficits under control.

Other Pubs December 1, 2011 marked one year since the release of The Moment of Truth report by the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.
Press Release A year ago today, the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform (Fiscal Commission) released The Moment of Truth report on how to address our debt crisis. In the report, we concluded that “The problem is real. The solution will be painful. There is no easy way out. Everything must be on the table. And Washington must lead.” We made it clear to leaders in Washington that we cannot afford to delay action on stabilizing the debt and reducing our annual deficits any longer.
Press Release We are deeply disappointed that the Congressional Select Committee could not get a simple majority to vote for long term fiscal responsibility and reform that would put our Nation's fiscal house in order. Not to have a plan to solve our long term fiscal problem is wholly irresponsible.
