U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)'s video: GAO: America s Money Matters - Understanding the Nation s Long-Term Fiscal Health

A look at the nation’s financial condition and future, and opportunities to improve it. The federal government faces an unsustainable long-term fiscal future, with increasingly large projected deficits driving high debt levels.
