Peter G. Peterson Testifies Before House Budget Committee

Peter G. Peterson, chairman of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, testified before the House Budget Committee about the nation's deteriorating fiscal health and urged that corrective measures be taken sooner rather than later.

The Peter G. Peterson Foundation has teamed up with mtvU to create InDebtEd, a new campaign for college students that raises awareness about the dangers of personal and government debt and promotes action to help stop the fiscal crisis in the United States.

Applicants 18-28 years old, individually or in teams, must come up with a creative, original idea for a video game that addresses the nation's fiscal crisis, with a $10,000 prize at stake.

To get more information, or to apply to the contest, go to http://indebted.mtvu.com/the-challenge. And if you're not between the ages of 18-28, forward the site to a friend who is!

America is fucked. I can't say you don't deserve it, because you people don't know how to control yourselves. Look at what you people did in Iraq. Look at the extensive gulag of torture you operate. No wonder nobody respects you. Lose about 150 pounds and then come talk to the world community.
