Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein is among the business
leaders invited to the White House tomorrow as President Barack Obama seeks
their support for his approach to addressing the fiscal cliff, two
people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
Obama’s meeting with the execs, his second such session this
month, is part of an administration campaign to pressure Congress to extend tax
cuts for middle-income Americans while letting them rise for top earners,
according to the people, who requested anonymity because the list of those at
the meeting hasn’t been officially released.
U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and other House
Republican leaders are also scheduled to meet with Blankfein tomorrow and other
CEOs pressing for an agreement to avoid the $607 billion in automatic tax
increases and spending cuts scheduled to take effect in January….
