David Walker, then the U.S. Comptroller General, tours the country in a bus with a small team, warning town-hall audiences that the national debt is a crisis nobody in Washington wants to name. The film follows his 'Fiscal Wake-Up Tour' alongside archival footage stretching back to the Depression and interviews with economists, former Treasury secretaries, and Federal Reserve officials including Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker. It breaks the crisis into four deficits: budget, savings, trade, and leadership, using charts and plain arithmetic to show how entitlement spending, foreign debt holders, and a culture of borrowing against future income have compounded for decades. Warren Buffett appears comparing the country's finances to a wealthy family slowly spending down an inheritance. Shot and released just before the 2008 financial collapse, the film plays now like an early warning that arrived on schedule. It stays with numbers and public officials rather than blame, and ends with Walker's tour still on the road, still trying to get anyone in office to listen.
