May 14, 2014 - The Peter G. Peterson Foundation held its fifth annual fiscal summit to promote its views that, "Our nation's economic health depends on its fiscal health."  The Foundation has focused much of its work on educating citizens about the effects of long-term debt.  Leaders including former President Bill Clinton and Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) addressed the summit.  (Below) An introductory video illustrated the importance of a strong fiscal foundation.
