Ross Perot, famous for his prime-time, pie-chart laden infomercials, is back with brand-new charts. Challenging America’s spendthrift ways, Perot argues that enormous deficits caused by entitlement programs are leading America down a path of destruction.
The United States faces large and growing budget deficits mostly due to an aging population and rising healthcare costs. Unless we solve the problems caused by entitlement spending, there will be little money left to do anything else in the future. Over time, our standard of living, our national security, our standing in the world and the value of our currency could all be threatened. The sooner we confront these issues, the better. This presentation explains the problems.
Ross Perot compiled the work of former comptroller general David Walker and others. Professional wed-designers were hired to create 35 charts, which are explained through narration. Perot does not advocate any particular solutions, but does clearly point to large federal entitlement programs as the culprits of our overspending.
Perot, who at 78 is older than John McCain, is not getting back into politics. At least not as a candidate. He is instead using one of the tools of his 1992 campaign for president to try and influence the direction of the nation going forward.
