David M. Walker is the former Comptroller General of the US. He is someone that truly cares about the financial wellness of our country. I saw him last night on the Ed Schultz show on MSNBC. I’m definitely going to get his new book: **[Come Back America-Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility](http://www.comebackamericathebook.com/).  **Walker writes on social security, healthcare reform, Medicaid and Medicare, tax reform, our international deficits, political reforms and more. Like it or not, we need to keep our eye on ball and **[this 'call to action' book](http://www.comebackamericathebook.com/about-the-book/)** gives us information and the hope we need to turn things around.

** [book recommendation](https://www.spiritusfinancial.com/blog/topic/book-recommendation), [politics](https://www.spiritusfinancial.com/blog/topic/politics), [the economy](https://www.spiritusfinancial.com/blog/topic/the-economy)
