Pete Peterson’s mine field
by digby
The country is broke and our grandchildren will all be beggars in the streets but there’s always millions to spare for bullshit propaganda isn’t there?
The Peter G. Peterson Foundation has announced a $1 million grant to the newly established Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership and Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire School of Law.
The grant will support the establishment of a Fiscal Responsibility Institute at the center as well as an annual conference focused on national budgetary issues. The center, which aims to provide scholarship, training, and opportunities for a new generation of leaders who value public service, was formally launched this week by an inaugural conference on the topic of “The Federal Budget and the Law: Finding a Way Forward.”
“Warren Rudman was the rarest of public servants, not only in office but when he left office,” said foundation chair Pete Peterson. “He did everything he could, and way before it was in fashion, to encourage both parties to become serious about our fiscal reality. The center will serve as a living tribute to Warren’s legacy of bipartisan leadership, efficient government, justice, and fiscal responsibility.”
He’s making sure that his noxious ideas never die.
