AGC Joins Coalition Urging Action on Debt Limit to Promote Economic Growth

While recognizing the need for spending reforms, AGC joined a large group of companies and associations urging action to increase the nation's statutory debt limit.  The letter focused largely on the international economic consequences of failure to increase the statutory debt limit.  AGC signed onto the letter knowing full well that a strong U.S. economy is critical to construction industry growth and also knowing that a strong U.S. economy requires international faith that the U.S. government will pay its bills. The letter also reiterated the groups’ commitment to working with Congress and the administration to address the nation’s fiscal challenges. For more information, contact Jeff Shoaf at shoafj@agc.org.
