David Walker Doing Yeoman's Work

David M. Walker, the former head of the Government Accountability Office, has been conducting a "wake-up tour" across America, attempting to shine a light on the fiscal challenges facing our country. I encourage you to watch his appearance on 60 Minutes, which occurred last year, at the following link:

Walker is currently leading the Foundation's broad efforts in the areas of enhancing "public understanding of the nature and urgency of selected key sustainability challenges that threaten America’s future, to propose sensible and workable solutions to address these challenges and to build public will to do something about them."
