Official dares to tell the truth: Washington is bankrupting future generations

[jeffrey]

Washington is bankrupting future generations. The longer we wait to address the $9 trillion national debt and ongoing annual budget deficits, the more taxes our children and grandchildren will have to pay, says David M. Walker, comptroller general of the United States, head of the General Accountability Office and just about the only public official in Washington these days telling the truth about the country's fiscal situation. We're basically taxing future generations without representation (because they can't vote or haven't been born), which he says is immoral.

What does the government say about this?

Refreshing, although depressing, honesty. A change in the White House can't come soon enough.
