we will start with david walker who served as the u.s.troller general from 1998 through 2008 and discusses his book, come back america, turning the country around and restoring fiscal responsibility. >> there is a difference between short-term deficits and long-term deficits. the short-term deficits were largely inherited by barack obama and we need to recognize that some level are understandable and and to make it very clear to try to get the economy growing and to try to bring unemployment down. and then he pivoted this structural deficit and that is what threatens that. >> it is not the debt that's on the balance sheet, but it's what off the balance sheet and he talked about three things. he talked about freezing a portion of discretionary spending, less than 20% of the federal budget for three years, you know, three years are better than one and especially since spending has increased 20% or more over the last two years. >> there are lots of holes in that and they have to put a truck through it and it does provide some constraints tha

general david walker is confident -- is incompetent confident at the parties will come together, sorryen the think it will happen? >> i am not a stock predictor and i know about fiscal sanity, i know about the numbers and we a living in a bble right now even though the federal reserve is going to taper this by about $10 million a month. it's far more than the deficit. and we it ended up avoiding a government shutdown, but we are not dealing with the things we have to deal with to restore fiscal sanity. we have gotten so good at ignoring these things. you look at the market and it is up today. we still saw go higher in light of that. but when the chckens come home to roost and what is the thing and finally that finally set off the reality of the situation? >> and interest rates wise, the value of the dollar declined significantly. and that is when it happens a only god knows if and when this will happen. melissa: what would make otr countries decide that we are really not going to pay our deb that? a stop in, when we were going to give a couple budget deals are getting sequester. >> let

. >> david walker used to be the government's top accountant, the head of the government accountabilitye, the gao. he now heads the peter g. peterson foundation, which is a strong advocate for reducing government debt. he says that 85% of the health care bills are paid by the government or private insurers, not by patients themselves. in fact, most patients don't even look at the bills. does that make any sense? most things you buy, the customer has some impact. >> we have a system where everybody wants as much as they can get, and they don't understand the true cost of what they're getting. the one thing that could bankrupt america is out-of-control health care costs, and if we don't get them under control, that's where we're headed. >> as we'll see when 60 minutes on cnbc returns, patients with their family's support often find it easier to hope for medical miracles than to discuss just by talking to a helmet. it grabbed the patient's record before we even picked him up. it found out the doctor we needed was at st. anne's. wiggle your toes.
