Documentary with Ron Paul and David Walker

I had seen something about this before but just received this email update from the Daily Reckoning a little while ago regarding this I.O.U.S.A .film.

U.S. Comptroller General Resigns for More “Aggressive” Policymaking Position

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I’m writing to you today with some important and interesting news…

David M. Walker, Comptroller General of the United States and head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), has announced his resignation in order to accept the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the newly established Peter G. Peterson Foundation.

Walker’s resignation will allow him to express his concerns about the ballooning national debt and the far-reaching consequences for the U.S. economy.

“As Comptroller General of the United States,” says Walker, also a leader of the Concord Coalition’s Fiscal Wake-Up Tour and star of the recently debuted documentary I.O.U.S.A., “there are real limitations on what I can do and say in connection with key public policy issues, especially issues that directly relate to GAO’s client - the Congress.”

As head of the Peterson Foundation, Walker will have “the ability and resources to more aggressively address a range of current and emerging challenges facing our country, including advocating specific policy solutions and courses of action.” Chief among Walker’s duties at the Peterson Foundation will be the funding and advocating of projects that will enhance public awareness of fiscal imbalance, entitlement programs and health care.

“The foundation is also going to end up funding other related efforts,” Walker told the Federal News Network in an interview, “designed to get the message out to millions of Americans… because they need to know more in order to make more informed choices at the ballot box.”

As you may already know, our documentary, I.O.U.S.A., featuring David Walker, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 19, 2008.

The film documents Walker’s efforts to educate the public on the fiscal issues challenging the country and the effect they will have on U.S. citizens.

We’re hoping that spreading the message in I.O.U.S.A. will be one of Walker’s priority projects…

I.O.U.S.A. also features interviews with a stunning selection of financial experts - including legendary investor Warren Buffett, former Treasury secretaries Robert Rubin and Paul O'Neill, Congressman Ron Paul and noted economist Alice Rivlin. The film was directed by Patrick Creadon (Wordplay) and was inspired by the bestselling book Empire of Debt, by Agora Financial’s Addison Wiggin and Bill Bonner.
