David Walker was U.S. comptroller general until 2008, one of his three presidential appointments. He then served as president and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, where he worked to promote federal financial responsibility. In 2010 he became president and CEO of the Comeback America Initiative (CAI) focused on promoting and achieving specific fiscal solutions. CAI received a three-year grant from the Peterson Foundation to engage the public and promote fiscal solutions, including those outlined in Walker's book Comeback America: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility. Robert L. Bixby is executive director of the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to fiscal responsibility.

Prior to his work with the Concord Coalition, Bixby practiced law and served as the Chief Staff Attorney of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. He has a juris doctorate from George Mason University School of Law and a master's degree in public administration from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
