He also appears regularly on CNN and MSNBC. He previously served as a corporate consultant and as an advisor to the Office of Management and Budget in the Clinton administration. Miller is a senior advisor to global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company and to the firm's in-house economics think-tank McKinsey Global Institute.

Miller supports universal health insurance, increased education spending, school vouchers and other goals detailed in his book. He was also a supporter of the 2003 invasion of Iraq but now claims he "blew it" in supporting the war, stating, "If I'd known beforehand that Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction, I would not have supported the war."^[1]

He is moderator and co-host of the nationally syndicated public radio program Left, Right & Center, representing the center.

Excerpt from The Two Percent Solution

From the prologue to The Two Percent Solution:

Suppose I told you that for just two cents on the national dollar we could have a country where everyone had health insurance, every full-time worker earned a living wage, every poor child had a great teacher in a fixed-up school, and politicians spent their time with average Americans because they no longer had to grovel to wealthy donors? Suppose I also said we'd largely be using 'conservative' means (like tax subsidies and vouchers) to reach these seemingly 'liberal' goals — and that when we were done, government would be smaller than it was when Ronald Reagan was president?
