In this age of spending beyond our limits as Americans on an idividual basis, this intriguing and sometimes alarming documentary follows David Walker, a former U.S. Comptroller General as he launches his own tour of knowledge across the U.S. hoping to educate people about a problem that makes balancing a checkbook look like a cake walk. The national deficit of the United States is in the trillions and the mounting debt threatens not only our internal way of life, but our external relationships with the rest of the world financially and politically, with far reaching and possibly disastrous consequences.
