I encourage you to watch this video trailer for an upcoming movie about the current financial condition of the United States of America. The movie is designed to be the financial equivalent of what An Inconvenient Truthis about our environment, an invitation to wake up and help support major changes in our government before it is too late.
Monday night I attended a town hall meeting sponsored by Congressman Jim Moran at the T.C. Williams High School Auditorium in Alexandria, Virginia featuring David Walker, the former U.S. Comptroller General and head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
Over the years I've followed the work David Walker has done to provide a fiscally responsible perspective on major U.S. budgetary and economic issues. His power-point presentations to political and business leaders have become essential must views for anyone interested in the long term outlook for our country's future.
This evening's topic was "A Legacy of Debt, Its Impact on Our Children, and How We Can Break the Cycle." How appropriate when media reports confirm that our next president will inherit a record budget deficit of $482 billion without adding in the upcoming bailouts or the supplemental spending on Iraq and Afghanistan.
My thanks to Congressman Moran for holding this timely gathering. This November 4th, Jim Moran again deserves re-election and I urge voters in Virginia's 8th Congressional District to vote overwhelmingly for a proven public servant who cares about his constituents and the future of our Country.
