The face of the deficit scolds

David Walker is the CEO of the Pete Peterson Commission, the group that would rather cut the food stamp program in the middle of a famine than feed people. They are, quite frankly, the most dangerous economic group in the world -- they want YOU to suffer so they can be even richer.

Not surprisingly -- and never really taken to task -- are his statements like this:

The very first speaker was David Walker, the former Comptroller General of the US and a longtime member of the hype machine about the federal budget deficit. Recently, on CNBC, Walker talked longingly about debtor’s prisons in the context of “personal responsibility.” Walker was booed by several people at the Los Angeles meeting. In his speech, he talked about the inescapability of structural deficits and being “very concerned for my country and my family’s future.”

His family, of course, is wealthier than hell. We have nearly 10% unemployment and these assholes want retrenchment.
