DALLAS, TX
Americans need to move quickly to rein in out-of-control government spending to avoid the mounting debt that threatens America's future, according to David Walker, Peter G. Peterson Foundation President & CEO and Former Comptroller General of the United States. Walker is widely acclaimed as one of the country's most capable, candid and independent financial experts.
In his new book, Comeback America: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility, Walker outlines steps to reform our tax, retirement, health care, defense and other systems before it's too late. Walker, who also headed the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) for almost ten years, is the featured speaker at the next Hatton W. Sumners Distinguished Lecture Series luncheon sponsored by the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA). Media are invited to the event.
