Can he make a difference again?He’s Baaa-ack. Is it too late?

Billionaire Ross Perot who will celebrate his 78th birthday on June 27th has launched a new website http://perotcharts.com. Its home page argues,

The United States faces large and growing budget deficits mostly due to an aging population and rising health care costs. Unless we solve the problems caused by entitlement spending, there will be little money left to do anything else in the future. Over time, our standard of living, our national security, our standing in the world and the value of our currency could all be threatened. The sooner we confront these issues, the better. This presentation explains the problems.”

Perot charts were made famous during his presidential campaigns in 1992 and 1996 when he arguably, especially in 1992, decided the election in favor of Bill Clinton who defeated first term President George H. W. Bush ushering in the so-called “Clinton Era.”

Regardless of your political persuasion, even socialist or communist, spending a few minutes browsing the website and at least looking at the charts should be instructive.
