Senator John McCain has written that Pete Peterson’s new book “provides a clear, concise and unvarnished look at America’s political and fiscal deterioration.” Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker praises it for showing how “our fiscal profligacy and growing dependence on foreign savings cannot be sustained.” Former Senator Bob Kerrey notes that, “…this book actually proposes solutions. It deserves to be the intellectual foundation for a movement to put the fuel back in our tank.”
