Thanks David!By James Hamilton

There's been flurry of newspaper editorials over the last couple weeks urging Congress and the presidential candidates to act soon to address the problems facing Social Security and Medicare. Even ABC and CBS have changed their "there's no problem" reporting and - like the rest of the mainstream media - have acknowledged the scope of the coming crisis.

Kudos, then, to the GAO's David Walker, the Concord Coalition's Bob Bixby, and the rest of the Fiscal Wake Up Tour crew who, in addition to their public meetings, have been meeting with editorial boards around the country! The message they've been delivering over the last two years is finally sinking in!
