WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), a Senate Banking Committee member, met with Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon recently to discuss the financial industry and American energy policy. Their conversation also covered tax policy and the rising concerns of inflation.
“Mr. Solomon and I had a very productive discussion,” said Senator Cramer. “Meeting ambitious climate goals will require a practical approach to energy policy which promotes innovation and supports producers of reliable American energy sources like oil, coal, nuclear, and natural gas. I also appreciated hearing his insights on addressing inflation and what the impact of raising taxes would be on the economy. I am grateful for his time and look forward to our continued partnership in advancing shared priorities.”
Senator Cramer has been sounding the alarm on the consequences of raising taxes on the American people, and he recently tied fears of inflation to the Biden Administration’s spending package from earlier this year. The meeting also covered the senator’s Fair Access to Banking Act, his bill backed by over 30 senators and a wide array of stakeholders which would prevent financial service providers from discriminating against constitutionally-protected industries and law-abiding, credit worthy businesses. It builds on the Trump Administration’s Fair Access Rule and expands on legislation Senator Cramer introduced last Congress. Learn more here.
