The Foundation for Fiscal Reform (FFFR) is a non-partisan, 501 (c) (3) corporation that provides education to our members on Macroeconomic issues, and it is a forum for them to formulate economic and fiscal policy reforms. Fiscal policy and monetary policy, international trade, savings and investment, government finance, and other factors are evaluated for our members so they can help bring about the needed reforms.

Economic ignorance in this country has reached epidemic proportions, but unfortunately most people are unaware of it. So how can such a huge problem exist and even government officials don't know about it or understand it?
- 99% of Americans obtain their economic data and analysis from talk show hosts, journalists, TV, the Internet, etc. -- all misleading and uninformed sources. Issues such as social security, the balance of trade, sovereign wealth funds, and federal deficit are either unknown or completely misunderstood by most Americans.
- 99% of the public sees no real consequences to their lack of knowledge of macroeconomic issues.
- 99% trust misleading and often totally incorrect fiscal analysis from both major political parties
Only the top 1% of income earners in this country recognize the value of macroeconomic knowledge and accurate fiscal analysis. The problem with this is that the remaining 99% will cause their own demise through their actions and ignorance of sound fiscal policy.
Join the Foundation for Fiscal Reform in stopping this alarming trend and educating the public about the true meaning of economic and fiscal reform.

Wage disparity
In 2006 the total income for the lowest 50% of wage earners was only 12.8% of the total US income. The richest 1% earn 21.2% of the total
In 1990 the richest 1% earned only 14% of the total income. This disparity between the upper and lower classes has increased considerably and will get worse if the current macroeconomic trends continue.
