At today's ICI Leadership Summit I discussed @POTUS ’s economic agenda, our historic economic recovery from the pandemic, and the importance of Congress’s raising the debt ceiling to prevent a manufactured crisis that would trigger a recession and cost us millions of jobs.

Long before most of us heard the word “coronavirus,” this country suffered from a profound racial wealth gap that makes it harder for communities of color to weather economic downturns. The new White House report details how the ARP took this into account.

The price cap on Russian oil offers the opportunity to accomplish dual goals—continue to reduce Russia’s revenues and impede their ability to fund their illegal war in Ukraine, and stabilize energy prices in the U.S. and across the globe.

For the past two years, the Biden-Harris Administration has committed itself to strengthening its relationship with Tribal nations to support Tribal economic growth and self-determination. This week, I visited California to further some of our Tribal partnerships.

Congress has a constitutional obligation to act now and prevent a default. The American people should not have to face the consequences of congressional inaction.

And it’s clear that this aid is needed -- over 500 cities and states have already applied for funding. These Fiscal Recovery Fund resources will help communities meet urgent pandemic response needs and rebuild a stronger, more equitable economy as we recover together.
