Fiscal Policy Resources

February 21, 2019

We appreciate that the national debt is a threat that is highly theoretical to most Americans. One of the best resources of information on fiscal policy, the national debt, and what it all means is the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.  

After a long and successful career on Wall Street first with Lehman Brothers and then as co-founder of the Blackstone Group, Peterson committed $1 billion of his personal wealth to the establishment of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation. His mission was to raise awareness of America’s long-term fiscal challenges.

We would refer you to the wealth of information on the subject at the foundation’s website. In particular, a quick review of the current article “Top 10 Reasons Why the National Debt Matters” is worthwhile.
