$TRILLIONS MORE IN NATIONAL DISTRESS: Concord Coalition's Bob Bixby sounds the alarm on government's new $1.9T spending spree from higher inflation to a potential international debt crisis

Bob Bixby is executive director of the Concord Coalition. Founded in 1992, it is a non-partisan organization that advocates putting the national debt on a sustainable course and protecting future generations. Bixby joined Concord in 1992 and served in several positions, including policy director and national field director, before being named executive director in 1999. He has served as a member of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Debt Reduction Task Force (the Domenici-Rivlin commission), which produced a model plan for comprehensive fiscal reform. He frequently speaks around the country on the nation’s fiscal challenges and possible bipartisan solutions, including greater government efficiency, tax reform and improvements in the entitlement program. He has testified at congressional hearings and been interviewed by news organizations around the country. Bixby has appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CNN and Fox News. Concord’s founders believed, like the Minutemen at Concord, that America has a moral obligation to leave the country better off for our children and grandchildren. Founding co-chairs were former U.S. senators Paul E. Tsongas (D-Mass.) and Warren B. Rudman (R-N.H.). Former U.S. commerce secretary Peter G. Peterson was the founding president. Current Board of Directors and regional advisory groups include former members of Congress and state legislatures, recognized experts on the federal budget, and business and civic leaders.
