“Retailers are urging lawmakers to support the bipartisan deal struck by President Biden and Speaker McCarthy to avert a debt ceiling crisis. The deal puts in place sensible restraints on spending, while giving private sector businesses the certainty needed to make investments, hire workers, and keep the economy growing.
“Retailers appreciate the principled leaders who negotiated in good faith to arrive at this point, and we urge swift passage to preserve market confidence and reassure anxious consumers.”
