  2. For businesses, obligations and liabilities are shown right on the front of their financial statements. But for long-term federal spending like Social Security and Medicare, that's not the case, and so our debt situation is much worse than many people realize. Following my presentation, I enjoyed a good, thoughtful conversation with the CPAs about what we must do to solve our spending crisis.

  3. On Friday, I spoke to more than 100 members of the Indiana CPA Society at their Leadership Cabinet/Emerging Leaders Alliance annual meeting in Indianapolis. CPAs have a particularly keen understanding that the real truth of our financial condition is in our financial statements, which show what the federal government is committed to spending over the long-term.

  10. Excellent visit today with around 15 members of the Montgomery County business community at my business roundtable in Crawfordsville. We discussed the drivers of our debt, the tax hike looming at the end of this year, and ways to reform our tax code.

    ar about the dire financial condition of our republic, and agreed that our current path of intergenerational theft is not sustainable. Those who have children or grandchildren (nearly everyone in the room) particularly understand why it's immoral to leave such an economic time bomb for our future generations.

  14. This morning, I joined Gov. Mitch Daniels and other state and local officials at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Lafayette-to-Delphi segment of the Hoosier Heartland Highway. I brought along my restored 1973 Corvette to help lead the caravan after we cut the ribbon. It's been an honor to be part of the team that helped make this happen. Here I am pictured with Delphi Mayor Randy Strasser:

  15. In addition to my visit with Meritor this week, I had another opportunity to speak to leaders of our auto industry when I visited with the Indiana Automotive Council. Representatives from Chrysler, Cummins, Delphi, General Motors, and many other companies were in attendance, and we talked about the looming “fiscal cliff” and the need for comprehensive tax reform.
