Summary
As head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO)--"the nation's top auditor"-- David M. Walker warned Congress and the administration as the federal surplus became a giant deficit under George W. Bush. Now, Walker works full-time to raise public awareness regarding mounting debt burdens being imposed on future generations. This is his manifesto, a way to end out-of-control government spending and reform our tax, retirement, health care, defense, and other systems--before it's too late. The book includes bold ideas to control spending, save Social Security, dramatically alter Medicare, and simplify the tax code--all taking into account the Obama Administration's current efforts, which receive never-before-published assessments both complimentary and critical.--From publisher description
