Fix the Debt's Leadership
Jump to: navigation, search
he Campaign to Fix the Debt is the latest incarnation of a decades-long effort by former Nixon man turned Wall Street billionaire Pete Peterson to slash earned benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare under the guise of fixing the nation's "debt problem." Through a special report and new interactive wiki resource, the Center for Media and Democracy -- in partnership with the Nation magazine -- exposes the funding, the leaders, the partner groups, and the phony state "chapters" of this astroturf supergroup. Learn more at PetersonPyramid.org and in the Nation magazine.
Fix the Debt's Leadership
Fix the Debt is led by the president of the CRFB, Maya MacGuineas.[1] Erskine Bowles, and Alan Simpson are listed as its "founders." Michael Bloomberg, Judd Gregg, and Ed Rendell are listed as its "co-chairs." There is an 11 member steering committee.[2] Fix the Debt biographies of the organization's leadership largely fail to mention the ties its leaders have to major U.S. corporations, and they fail entirely to disclose that those corporations lobby on deficit related issues, such as corporate tax breaks. Below we list those corporate and lobbying ties and other information about these leaders relevant to the public discourse on Fix the Debt. For a table of 12 of these 19 leaders and their undisclosed ties to corporations lobbying around federal tax and spending issues, please visit the table of Fix the Debt's Leadership here.
