Conversation With a Conservative: Peter G. Peterson
In the fourth and final film in Mother Jones' "Conversation with a Conservative," series, Peter G. Peterson, Commerce Secretary in the Nixon administration, explains that the Republican Party "has lost its moorings" in recent years.
In the interview, Peterson tells Mother Jones:
- "We've lost our moorings here. We've become theological about tax cuts.... It's morphed into 'Any tax cut, any time.'"
- "This president, who says he's a conservative, is the first president since John Quincy Adams not to veto a single bill."
- "One of the almost criminal things we did, we took our kids' surpluses and we spent them."
