US Treasury Secretary Is Optimistic About American Congress Working Together

February 20, 2014 Share Print 0

Jack Lew sees good signs for the economy both on Capitol Hill and Main Street.
And his message to the rest of the world: there’s work to be done.

The Treasury Secretary said he is encouraged by Congress, which in recent months agreed on a budget, spending bill and debt limit measure.
“Maybe — just maybe,” Lew said, “we’ll be able, for a couple of years, to keep doing business that way.”
By handling these matters, Washington is sending a worldwide message, one Lew says he’ll bring to a gathering of global financial leaders this week in Australia.
