Dean Baker on Pete Peterson
"Peter Peterson, an investment banker with the Blackstone Group, a private equity firm that earned Peterson and other partners billions when it went public this year. Mr. Peterson is primarily known for having spent much of the last fifteen years arguing for cuts in Social Security and Medicare for people like schoolteachers and firefighters. When arguing for these cuts Mr. Peterson routinely asserts that he does not need his Social Security. With the tens of millions in tax breaks he gets from the government, this is surely true.

So, as we celebrate the holiday season, we should be pleased that little Pete Peterson and his incredibly rich friends are enjoying a very merry Christmases due to our generosity as taxpayers and shareholders. If these folks actually had to rely on the market for their livelihood, their holiday season might be considerably less festive."
