Peterson-Pew Commission on Budget Reform
To modernize an outdated Congressional budget process in light of the daunting economic challenges facing the nation, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) have announced a landmark partnership to build bipartisan consensus for a core set of reforms. The Peterson-Pew Commission on Budget Reform will convene the nation's preeminent experts to make recommendations for how best to strengthen the budget process used by federal lawmakers.
Perot Charts
"Sixteen years after he shook up American politics by launching an impromptu campaign for president, Ross Perot is about to dip a toe back into the public debates. And, yes, he's bringing his charts with him..." So wrote the Washington Post's David Broder in hailing the launch of www.perotcharts.com. Based on work by our own Dave Walker when he was US Comptroller General, among others, Perot and his team have produced 35 easily accessible charts and a simple accompanying narration that together paint a tough but realistic picture of the nation's long-term fiscal outlook if corrective measures are not taken.
