David M. Walker, GAO Chief is in a rare position to speak out and he's doing it.

He is in a rare position due to the fact that his job is good till 2013, he doesn't have to face the voters or the whim of the sitting powers that be. So he's opening his mouth with some serious warnings about our fiscal future.

What they don't talk about is a dirty little secret everyone in Washington knows, or at least should. The vast majority of economists and budget analysts agree: The ship of state is on a disastrous course, and will founder on the reefs of economic disaster if nothing is done to correct it.


He's saying what the politicians won't and it deserves a good read, especially now.

"You can't solve a problem until the majority of the people believe you have a problem that needs to be solved," Walker says.


He also is taking on this crusade in a very non-biased bipartisan manner.

To show that the looming fiscal crisis is not a partisan issue, he brings along economists and budget analysts from across the political spectrum. In Austin, he's accompanied by Diane Lim Rogers, a liberal economist from the Brookings Institution, and Alison Acosta Fraser, director of the Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.


Wish we could run him for President.

I am waiting for the "everything is right except that it was Clinton's fault, not Bush" crowd.

They are coming...
