Description: The federal budget is unworkable and irresponsible, the nation's top auditor says. The United States is borrowing at alarming rates and saddling today's toddlers with debts they may never repay, says Comptroller General David Walker, who heads the Government Accountability Office. Financial disaster looms -- and that's no exaggeration, Walker says. Americans must start demanding significant reform that tightens budgetary controls, overhauls the nation's tax system and significantly changes Social Security, Medicare and farm price supports. He urges Americans to vote only for presidential candidates who pledge to make fiscal responsibility and intergenerational equity one of their three top priorities. This video primer highlights some of the biggest problem areas within the federal budget and aims to provide Americans with information that will help them ask specific questions and demand specific answers from political candidates. |

It's a private bank that runs our country and will destroy it. __________________________________________________ | |
