On September 13, 2007, The Fiscal Wake-Up Tour was in San Francisco at the invitation of New Voice of Business. The Tour is designed to explain in plain, non-partisan terms, why budget analysts of diverse perspectives are increasingly alarmed by the nation's long-term fiscal outlook. The emphasis is on the key areas in which there is non-partisan consensus, such as:

• The overall dimensions of the problem
• The nature of the realistic trade-offs that must be confronted in finding solutions
• The major adverse and inequitable consequences for future generations if we fail to make serious changes, sooner rather than later.
