Go, David, Go!

IOUSA's David Walker says some unpopular things here, like:
1) Somewhat higher taxes now, or massively higher taxes later. Our choice. Low taxes forever is not going to happen.
2) Universal health coverage will have to mean more modest coverage than the gold-plated Cadillac care that Americans are used to
Not popular, but very true.

He's also right about leadership. No political party or leader is now talking a realistic message about our fiscal situation and what it's going to take to fix it. America needs a sober leader to sit us down and speak some unpleasant facts. Nobody seems to be stepping up.

I would like to see a Fiscal Future Commission as he suggests. Even better, would be if people actually paid attention to such a commission.
