We all seem to enjoy second-guessing other people’s decisions – particularly if it involves any decision by Congress or Presidents Bush or Obama in the last few years.
Well now a group of CEOs, representing millions of workers and over $2 trillion of combined market capitalization, had that opportunity to make their opinions known to the business community, as well as the Obama Administration and Congress (assuming they are still open to input from us pesky voters).
Last week the Wall Street Journal gathered 100 CEO’s from a cross-section of large cap companies. The purpose of this CEO Council was to develop a consensus on how the Obama Administration should prioritize their national and global agendas for the good of the economy and the good of the country.
According to WSJ.com: “The CEOs divided into four task forces and debated priorities in the areas of health care, energy and the environment, finance and the U.S. economy, and education. Using an electronic ranking system devised by the Journal, they chose five top priorities in each subject area.”
The summarized priorities are accessible at the link below:
