GAO Chief David Walker: Economic Disaster Looms
David Walker is on 60 minutes tonight warning America we are to far in debt. Do you think if we do not change the out of control spending in Washington that we are heading toward an “economic disaster”?
NM-AUSTIN, Texas – David M. Walker sure talks like he’s running for office. “This is about the future of our country, our kids and grandkids,” the comptroller general of the United States warns a packed hall at Austin’s historic Driskill Hotel. “We the people have to rise up to make sure things get changed.”
But Walker doesn’t want, or need, your vote this November. He already has a job as head of the Government Accountability Office, an investigative arm of Congress that audits and evaluates the performance of the federal government.
Basically, that makes Walker the nation’s accountant-in-chief. And the accountant-in-chief’s professional opinion is that the American public needs to tell Washington it’s time to steer the nation off the path to financial ruin.
Yep, the party of responsible government is again back in to power just in time to clean up the Repubs’ mess.
Run the numbers back to the 1950s and the results are the same: more tax collected and much, much more money spent under Republican’ts than under Democrats. Simple fact.
I’m getting tired of my party always getting the blame for cleaning up after you guys!
