Ross Perot Launches Public Information Website
About U.S. Economic Crisis
PerotCharts.com Illustrates that We Are Running Out Of Time to Stop Deficit Spending
DALLAS, TEXAS – JUNE 16, 2008 /PRNewswire/—Ross Perot, business leader and former presidential candidate, announced today the launch of “PerotCharts.com,” a public information website that contains objective, factual information about the current economic crisis in America. The site is being launched as an alert and appeal for American citizens to inform themselves about federal government spending. Perot said, “The U.S. national debt reached $9.4 TRILLION on April 30, and it is increasing by more than $1 billion every day. We are leaving our children and grandchildren with debt they cannot possibly pay.”
PerotCharts.com consists of three major components: a video featuring Ross Perot discussing the purpose of the website, a blog where new charts and other information are posted daily for study and comment, and a narrated chart presentation explaining the economic problems our country faces.
The website is not affiliated with any political party or candidate. Most of the data and research for the charts is gathered from official government sources.
“The economic crisis facing America today is far greater than anything since the Great Depression,” said Perot. “Our federal government continues to spend us deeper into debt. The American people must get directly involved and demand an end to deficit spending. This website will provide information for citizens to do just that.”
Like the economic charts Perot employed in his 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns, which served as snapshots of complex economic issues presented in simple terms, PerotCharts.com features the latest official government figures about the real conditions of our economy for everyone to see and consider. The site is designed to be a reservoir of information about the economy, and provides an accurate look at where the money comes from and where it goes.
David Walker, former U.S. Comptroller General and current president and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation said, “Ross Perot is the father of fiscal charts, and PerotCharts.com will help Americans understand the serious fiscal challenges facing our nation. These updated economic charts will also serve to hold elected officials accountable while accelerating needed actions to help ensure that our collective future will be better than our past. What we need now is leadership from our elected officials.”
Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives said, “Ross Perot is exactly right to echo Winston Churchill’s famous cry for ‘action this day’ to rally the nation to reform our entitlement programs, end deficit spending, and balance the federal budget. PerotCharts.com contains information every citizen needs to know so we can demand real change to get the nation on the right track.
David L. Boren, former U.S. Senator and governor of Oklahoma and current president of the University of Oklahoma said, “The facts speak for themselves in Ross Perot’s powerful website for all Americans. Runaway spending and a rising national debt will destroy America’s future as a great nation. As more of our debt is held by those in other countries, our political independence is put at risk by our economic dependency. We must act now!
“We simply cannot wait any longer to do something about runaway deficit spending,” Perot said. “This website addresses a number of issues, and we will add more in the coming weeks and months. But there is a common thread running through all of them. We cannot solve these problems unless we have the ability to pay for the solutions. Getting spending under control is the first step in that process.”

Don’t know if anyone has mentioned it yet, the “giant sucking sound” predictions came home to roost much bigger than anyone ever thought and I see no light at the end of the tunnel. The trade imbalance is sinking this country fast. Ross told ‘em.

Hello Ross Perot:
Thank you so much for creating information website. For every business we expect one to prepares realistic business plan except our government.
It will be a great benefit to include summary of trade agreements and trade balances.
I wish to see you appear in several media programs such as Lou Dobbs (CNN) to promote existence of this website.
Thank you.

Mr. Perot, you are a hero for trying to educate the American people on the truth about our dire fiscal picture. Your use of US Government data makes all that you have posted on PerotCharts.com that much more credible.
I recently read a book – also based totally on US Government data/records/memoranda/intelligence reports – which pointed out how perfidious our own government has been for the past three decades. AN ENORMOUS CRIME; The Definitive Account of US POWs in SE Asia by former Rep. Bill Hendon and Beth Stewart is the most extensively researched book I have ever read on this or any topic.
Mr. Perot, why do we not hear from you about this very important topic – the POWs left behind who have still not be recovered – and your thoughts on John McCain’s role in this POW issue? Your long history in the POW issue is heroic; but we need to hear from you on this book and on the truth about our missing men.
Please tell us what you think on the POWs the same way you have posted this incredible fiscal data!

Mr. Perot needs to run for President again. Maybe this time the American people will listen. Everything has already been mentioned in this blog that are in my thoughts so I won’t repeat here. It seems the people making comments here are intelligent and ready to support Mr. Perot. Enough words! It’s time for action.
Stay well Mr. Perot, and continue your good works. This site is just an example.

Mr. Perot: Let me cut directly to the bottom line! The only way we have a chance to reverse the travesty which our elected officials have gotten us into is to create an entire “Grass Roots ” campaign which offers not only a President/Vice President platform but an entire slate of committed reformers which can replace and change the way “good Ole Boy Politics” have been done for the past seventy five years.
The only way this will occur is each and every one of us who subsribe to your site and many others like David Walker’s site must make an active decision to get invovled and become both physicly and verbally envolved in making an all out attemt to save our Country.
If anyone out there thinks we can expect any major change from within the Belt Way-Shame on you!
Put a platform together. Arm ourselves with the Truth and let’s take back the glourious Country our elected officials have been giving away.
