America's Fate: the Titanic's.
David Walker, U.S. Comptroller, gave a speech recently which was re-aired on C-Span this evening. It was the most important speech made in the last 5 years and will remain the most important speech for America's future for decades. America is on a path to depression and bankruptcy, and the politicians to date, refuse to act to prevent it. The essence of his message was simple. America must make radical changes today to its future financial situation if it is to have an economic future with quality and dignity for its citizens.
The politicians, in whose hands lie our economic future, have so far refused to look at their legislation beyond their next reelection. In fact, many politicians who move for measures to save our country will lose their reelection because as Mr. Walker said, the public has not been educated to accept responsibility for the viability of our nation's future.
