Comeback America: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility
“It’s time for us to wake up—and wake up America—to the lethal threat of our own fiscal irresponsibility.” So states Walker, CPA and the government’s former top auditor, who now concentrates on raising public awareness of our nation’s growing deficits, increasing debt, and dependency on foreign lenders. He sets out to explain our fiscal situation in understandable terms, offers solutions, and helps us evaluate future programs that are heralded as “fair” or will “pay for themselves.” Walker explains our political culture in terms of what he sees as Washington’s malfunction. Questions that he suggests citizens ask of their government leaders: Has the government promised more than it can afford? Have politicians acknowledged that federal taxes must go up for more Americans than those designated “rich,” and are they just talking about fiscal responsibility without any action? Everyone will not agree with Walker, although he makes a compelling case for his views. Excellent book on critical issues as our economy slowly emerges from recession. --Mary Whaley
