Our Regulators Did Their Jobs - Leaders failed us

Our Comptroller General of the United States, Dave Walker, did his job. He reported the conditions of our Federal Finances over, and over again. No one wanted to hear the bad news. In March of 2007 our former Comptroller of the United States was on 60 minutes trying to tell the American Public this information.

This site is a NON partisan group...the president of which is the former comptroller USA and head of the GAO. Here is his bio from the web site.

As Comptroller General of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) from 1998 to 2008, spanning both Democratic and Republican administrations, Dave served as the federal government's chief auditor. Appointed by President Bill Clinton and confirmed unanimously by the US Senate, he was an outspoken, nonpartisan advocate for addressing the major fiscal and other sustainability challenges facing the country. He also enacted transformational reforms at the agency and within the accountability profession.
Prior to his appointment to run the GAO, Dave served as a partner and global managing director of Arthur Andersen LLP and in several government leadership positions, including as a Public Trustee for Social Security and Medicare from 1990 to 1995 and as Assistant Secretary of Labor for Pension and Welfare Benefit Programs during the Reagan administration.

Interesting.. Mr Walker was also a partner in Arthur Anderson... certainly a great place to learn how to cook the books

I hear you about being at Arthur Anderson. No place better to learn the tricks of the trade and also how to recognize them. At least this man spoke the truth to his superiors and to the American public.

No on listened.
