On Fox News’ Hannity show Joe DioGuardi reveals just how bad the situation is and calls for immediate action

Appearing on the June 10 episode of the popular Fox News Channel show “Hannity,” Truth in Government founder Joe DioGuardi provided key information and insight about U.S. financial woes.  As a guest on Hannity’s “Great American Panel,” DioGuardi called out the latest Gallup poll results that showed the national debt has eclipsed jobs as the number one problem in America.  And the situation is worse than most people realize, according to DioGuardi. The Social Security and Medicare liabilities add an unsustainable burden to the national debt.  “All the money that’s been put in there [“trust accounts” for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid] was spent, and it’s not being replaced,” DioGuardi said.

DioGuardi also criticized President Obama for delayed action on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.  “He just waited and waited, and now we’re trying to figure out what the problem is?” DioGuardi commented, and then added, “When you have a disaster of that magnitude, you’ve got to hit the ground running.” The former two-term congressman from New York has spent nearly two decades calling attention to congressional overspending, and the lack of transparency. More recently, in a play on President Obama’s popular book title, DioGuardi says that the president needs to show “audacity of action.”
