4.9/5 (23211 ratings)

Description:Challenging the Clinton Administration to finally break the stranglehold of special interest groups, the author argues for tough deficit reduction and support for developing new technologies. Foreword by former Senators Warren Rudman and Paul Tsongas.In this austere blueprint for balancing the federal budget by the year 2000, Peterson--chairman of the Blackstone Group (a New York investment bank), chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations and former Secretary of Commerce under Nixon--advocates withholding, on a sliding scale, a portion of Social Security and Medicare benefits from families with an income above roughly $35,000. He also urges increases in taxability of entitlement benefits, higher taxes on the very wealthy, cuts in military spending, sharing "peacekeeping" costs with our allies, and a 50-cent per gallon increase in the federal gasoline tax. To cut spiraling healthcare costs, Peterson would encourage or require people to join HMOs; patients would directly pay for a bigger share of their medical bills as a means to discourage casual use of medical services. With Senators Rudman and Tsongas, Peterson founded the Concord Coalition, a group devoted to "getting the American middle class to take responsibility for America's future." -©1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
