Billionaire Peter G. Peterson is going to spend one of his billions promoting the idea that the federal government needs to take serious steps to address the unfunded liabilities problem for Social Security and Medicare. Mr. Peterson says, “You can buy a lot of airtime with $1 billion. People are going to hear from us.”
Mr. Peterson is doing what we want to do. He’s going to make this issue visible to everyone, everywhere, every day. Even better, he’s going to do it on one of the major issues Downsize DC has been pushing.
Meanwhile, another billionaire, Ross Perot, is back in action working on the same issue as Mr. Peterson. He has a new website full of his famous deficit charts: PerotCharts.com
