"'You will bear the burden,' Walker told the students. 'It's incumbent on you to make sure government leaders pay attention.'" - Walter Jones, Savannah Morning News

Under the auspices of The Concord Coalition and together with The Heritage Foundation and other organizations, Brookings is touring the country to educate the public about our fiscal mess. These visits generally comprise a public event at a local university, a private breakfast with business and community leaders, and a meeting with the editorial board of the local newspaper. In the past year, the Tour has been featured on the CBS news show “60 Minutes” and in the documentary “I.O.U.S.A.,” which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and made its national debut in January 2009 on CNN. To date the Tour has counted more than 55 visits to cities nationwide.
