David Walker: Comeback America




We The People Podcasts show

Summary: Former Comptroller General of the United States and head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office David M. Walker joins the Center to discuss his important new book, Comeback America: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility. For years, Walker warned Congress–and the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations–that America faced a large and growing fiscal imbalance due largely to known demographic trends and rising health care costs. Unfortunately, the numbers have gotten worse and our fiscal gap has grown dramatically in recent years. Moderated by Steve Cordasco, host of "Big Money with Steve Cordasco" which airs in Philadelphia and Boston on Saturday and Sunday mornings on The Big Talker, 1210AM. Program recorded on 2/3/10.
