A strong foundation
by digby
Can you guess the foundation in question?
That’s right, it’s Pete Peterson’s outfit. And if you look at the report details you will see that he employs a lot of people, most of them in Washington, to fulfill his quest to kill Social Security. In fact, considering how much money is flowing to that end, it’s actually surprising they haven’t been able to get it done yet.
Still, they’ve only been around since 2008, so when you think about it they’ve managed to to advance the ball pretty far down the field. Just the fact that they got a Democratic administration to put it on the table in budget negotiations is an amazing accomplishment. They have a lot to brag about.
No wonder DC is the most prosperous metro area in the nation.
You’ll notice that they’ve still got $470 million on hand.
