Business Roundtable CEOs today released “Taking Action for America: A CEO Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth,” a comprehensive plan to get America growing again.
Among their recommendations, America’s CEOs call upon the Administration and Congress to:
- Stabilize and reduce the federal debt relative to the size of the economy by achieving a balanced federal budget, excluding interest payments on the debt, within the next five years.
- Streamline the federal regulatory process and withdraw or modify each of eight proposed or pending regulations that BRT CEOs have identified as particularly costly and burdensome to business.
- Adopt a competitive U.S. corporate tax rate comparable to the OECD average and competitive territorial tax system similar to the rest of the world.
- Make U.S. energy systems more diverse, more domestic and more efficient.
- Advance policies to create a world-class workforce to enable Americans to compete and succeed in the world economy.
