Walker addresses national deficit

January 9, 2012

America's $15-trillion public debt can only be addressed via an immediate, bipartisan and comprehensive response, former United States Comptroller General David Walker said to a packed Filene Auditorium on Monday. Walker, a registered independent who served as Comptroller General from 1998 to 2008, described the past 11 years as "the most irresponsible in the history of the United States." In order to solve the debt problem, the government must re-impose budget controls, reduce defense and social welfare spending, raise revenues and fix a broken political system, Walker said in an interview with The Dartmouth. "It is critically important that people be informed and involved to ensure that our elected officials start making the tough choices necessary to put our finances in order before we face a debt crisis," Walker said. Introducing open primaries and empowering non-partisan commissions, rather than elected officials, to deal with redistricting, could help address the public debt and political faults, Walker said.

De Vink analyzes future of U.S.-Europe relations

January 8, 2012

With the United States increasingly shifting its economic and diplomatic focus from Europe to the Pacific Rim and given the persistent challenges of the debt crisis, the importance of the historically-strong alliance between the United States and European Union may lessen in the future, Dutch diplomat Marcel de Vink said in a lunch discussion at the Rockefeller Center on Friday. De Vink, the head of the political department at the Royal Dutch Embassy in Washington, spoke in a roundtable setting to an audience of five undergraduate and graduate students and Rockefeller Center staff about the changing relationship between the United States and the EU. "There is enormous potential for the transatlantic relationship, but it's something that we need to work on and it's not self-evident," de Vink said. Changing demographics in the United States are transforming American politics from a Eurocentric focus to a global perspective, de Vink said. Furthermore, powerful economic developments in Asia are contributing to the "historical inevitabilities" that will diminish Europe's role on the world stage, de Vink said. The shift in economic growth and market development from Europe to Asia is changing the relationship between the United States and the EU, de Vink said.
