E-mailOctober 27, New York City —The gaggle of ghosts and goblins roaming neighborhoods in search of candy isn’t the only scary thing in Washington this Halloween. Men and women in suits are frightening people young and old with tales of the “Deficit Monster,” that will destroy our families and gobble up our children’s future.
Don’t be tricked. Treat yourself and your readers or network to the facts about the national debt and a responsible path to recovery at Our Fiscal Security (www.ourfiscalsecurity.org). Our Fiscal Security is a partnership of The Century Foundation, Demos and the Economic Policy Institute created to promote a budget path that balances fiscal responsibility with priorities designed to strengthen the American economy.
Our Fiscal Security.org is a one-stop shop that features extensive commentary, research and analysis on crucial budget issues, including tax policy, public investment, healthcare spending and economic recovery. Visitors to the website can check out this “Man Made Monster” video, as well as two other provocative videos -- “Attack of the Baby Boomers” and “The Doomsday Scenario“ -- that expose the scare tactics used to drive the current discourse about Social Security and our long-term fiscal outlook.
