ABOUT THIS EPISODE
America is racing toward a fiscal cliff—and few people understand the stakes better than David Walker.
As the former Comptroller General of the United States and CEO of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), David served nearly a decade at the highest levels of federal oversight, with unanimous Senate confirmation across three Presidential appointments.
A globally recognized expert in fiscal responsibility, government transformation, and retirement security, David brings over 40 years of leadership experience across public, private, and nonprofit sectors—including chairing the Defense Business Board and teaching Economics of National Security at the U.S. Naval Academy.
In this gripping episode, David warns about bond market cracks, runaway U.S. deficits, the Fed’s shrinking power, the global shift away from the dollar, and why America urgently needs a fiscal constitutional amendment.
Drawing insights from his latest book, America in 2040: Still a Superpower?, he shares a powerful roadmap for restoring the nation’s economic future before it's too late.
