David Walker: 2007: deficit spending saddles millennials with debts

Many people in the room know Walker was comptroller general of the U.S. between 1998 and 2008. They've seen the 2007 segment on CBS's "60 Minutes," where he warned that the nation's deficit-spending would saddle millennials with crippling debts to pay the retirement entitlements of Baby Boomers.

They understand that Walker, a CPA with executive experience in the private sector, had 3,000 employees and a half-billion-dollar budget at the Government Accountability Office, under congressional control. They remember the Wall Street Journal at the time called him a "Chicken Little" who called for higher taxes and a reduction in benefits.
