This is just the TV AD, produced by Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW). It focuses on how our debt to China will ultimately lead to our own destruction.

Really, this ad campaign was labelled as xenophobic by the press of my country (France). That's completely ludicrous. I don't see anything xenophobic towards the Chinese, that is just sheer truth. Those who are harshly criticized here are the Americans who borrow to afford their spending sprees, and not the Chinese who are lending to the Americans.

here are a couple of facts for you; stimulus package created 3.3 million jobs, reduced our 10% unemployment rate by 2% and raised our GDP by 4.5%. i don't know your knowledge of economics but it isn't difficult to see that as proof of success of the stimulus measure. (data was from a bi-partisan congressional committee.) it was meant to curve the rise in unemployment and our dwindling GDP by that measure it was a success. numbers don't lie..

Evading?

I didn't know China was on wheels, steering around other countries to avoid hitting them.

The conservative Capital Research Center (CRC) notes in its Searchlight database (which records corporate contributions) that CAGW has "received funding from: Merrill Lynch & Company Foundation Exxon Corporation (now ExxonMobil) RJR Nabisco (now part of the Altria Group) Sears Roebuck & Company[9] John Deere Foundation A few examples of tobacco industry donations to CAGW: Philip Morris The Tobacco Institute

This ad blew me away. Borrowing money to create jobs is bogus and short lived. Additionally, we don't manufacture much in this country any more. Our continued purchasing of cheap goods from abroad is transferring what's left of our wealth after it got sucked up by the oil rich countries. Buying US made products allows US employees to pay taxes on their income and spend their money in our country. Ultimately, buying goods from overseas may not prove to be the bargain you thought.
