We are The Curators for the Kennedy Curious. We are the wide awake, the non-programmable, and the non-exploitable. We seek a better world for our children and fully support the solutions proposed by Robert R. Kennedy, Jr.
In a conversation about fiscal sanity, Dave and I recall his tenure in the Clinton and Bush administrations, when he oversaw the last budget SURPLUS in America. Now we are $35 trillion in debt and adding $1 trillion every 100 days. Why is this a political problem? What is the political solution? Can the Constitution be availed to address our pending fiscal calamity?
Dave's book "America in 2040- Still a Superpower?" not only identifies the significant financial problems facing our nation and the world, but offers meaningful and sensible paths forward.
David Walker is a nationally and internationally recognized expert for fiscally-responsible, government transformation and accountability, human capital, and retirement security. He has over 40 years of executive-level experience in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, including heading three federal agencies, two non-profits, a global service line for Arthur Andersen LLP, and serving as Comptroller General of the United States and CEO of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) for almost 10 years.
Mr. Walker’s appointment as Comptroller General was one of three Presidential Appointments by different Presidents (Reagan, Bush 41, and Clinton) during his 16 years of full-time federal service. The U.S. Senate confirmed him unanimously for all three Presidential appointments. His previous Presidential Appointments were Assistant Secretary of Labor for the current Employee Benefit Security Administration, and as one of two Public Trustees for Social Security and Medicare. Mr. Walker also served as Acting Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director, and Chief Negotiator for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. He has over 20 years of private-sector experience, including approximately 10 years as a Partner and Global Managing Director of the Human Capital Services Practice for Arthur Andersen LLP. His initial private-sector experience was with Price Waterhouse & Co., Coopers & Lybrand, and Source Services Corporation.
