The Campaign to Fix the Debt is the latest
incarnation of a decades-long effort by former Nixon man turned Wall Street billionaire Peter
G. Peterson to slash earned benefit programs such
as Social
Security and Medicare under the guise of fixing the nation's
"debt problem." Through this special report -- and in partnership with The Nation magazine -- the Center for Media and
Democracy exposes the funding, the leaders, the partner groups, and phony state "chapters" of
this astroturf supergroup," whose goal is to achieve
a grand bargain on austerity by July 4, 2013.
While you do not hear the term "Fix the Debt" in the
Corporate Media Propagandist rants, the emphasis is kept alive by the likes of Paul Ryan and others.
