Federal director Walter Robinson argues that Paul Martin’s economic statements are heavy on rhetoric but light on real debt reform. He cites a $559.7 billion national debt, a $1.2 trillion unfunded liability, and calls for spending cuts rather than new spending to address taxes and health care challenges.
