<h2>'''Fix the Debt’s Last Harrumph'''</h2>
[[Image:FTD-DingDong800px.jpg|250px|right]]The [[Portal:Fix the Debt|Campaign to Fix the Debt]] – billionaire [[Pete Peterson]]’s Wall Street-backed austerity front group – is scaling down and shedding staff after failing to achieve any of their toxic goals.
Since our February 2013 front page expose on this “astroturf supergroup” in the ''Nation'', you helped us spread the word and call out the tax dodging hypocrites with platinum plated pensions pushing harmful budget cuts. Fix the Debt failed because Americans aren’t interested in cutting Social Security or Medicare to offset more tax handouts to big corporations.
Now we learn that President Obama has struck “chained CPI” Social Security cuts from his budget proposal. It is time to take advantage of this important victory to pivot to a discussion on how to improve and strengthen these lifesaving programs to preserve them for future generations.
