Mayor Bloomberg Joins Fix the Debt
on December 12th 2012
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg today joined the Fix the Debt campaign as a national co-chair. He joins Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa as the first two sitting officeholders on our distinguished, bipartisan steering committee.
In a Washington Post op-ed today explaining his rationale for joining the campaign, Bloomberg says
Business leaders — large and small — understand that Washington cannot continue running up massive deficits without producing collateral consequences, either in the form of higher interest rates, higher inflation or higher taxes. And when these outcomes are unknown, businesses play it safe — by not investing.
Mayor Bloomberg joins over 320,000 Americans who support the Fix the Debt Campaign through the Citizen’s Petition to Fix the Debt and over 2,500 small business owners.
