A new television ad about the U.S. national debt produced by Citizens Against Government Waste has been deemed "too controversial" by major networks including ABC, A&E and The History Channel and will not be shown on those channels. The commercial is a homage to a 1986 ad that was entitled "The Deficit Trials" that was also banned by the major networks. Apparently telling the truth about the national debt is a little too "hot" for the major networks to handle. But perhaps it is time to tell the American people the truth. In 1986, the U.S. national debt was around 2 trillion dollars. Today, it is rapidly approaching 14 trillion dollars. The American Dream is being ripped apart right in front of our eyes, but apparently some of the major networks don't want the American people to really understand what is going on.

The truth is that the ad does not even have anything in it that should be offensive. The commercial is set in the year 2030, and the main character is a Chinese professor that is seen lecturing his students on the fall of great empires. As images of the United States are shown on a screen behind him, the Chinese professor tells his students the following about the behavior of great empires: "They all make the same mistakes. Turning their backs on the principles that made them great. America tried to spend and tax itself out of a great recession. Enormous so-called "stimulus" spending, massive changes to health care, government takeover of private industries, and crushing debt."

Perhaps it is what the Chinese Professor says next that is alarming the big television networks: "Of course, we owned most of their debt, so now they work for us".

  • This video shows what will happen if we DON'T support Ron Paul.

    This video is NOT against Ron Paul.

    This video warns us if we don't go back to the principles of The Constitution.

  • Ohio is for Ron Paul!

  • @GretchenDawntreader you ever look at your deductions? you feel that is necessary??? the most patriotic thing you can do is to keep paying taxes? we all keep hearing..hmmm and if it gets taken out 2- 3 times double dipped and never noticed crunched in beurocratic numbers. This year I want you to review your state or federal withholdings not with an accountant use turbotax but actually pay attention-then come back and tell us if you think you were treated fairly.

  • @GretchenDawntreader There are other, more efficient ways of raising funds for the federal administration than through a federal income tax.

  • Ron Paul wants to end the federal income tax. That alone makes him a joke. Reduce spending, fine, but the government legitimately needs money for things only the government can do. Paul is a loon. I hope he wins the caucases in dopey, evangelical Iowa. He can join the esteemed company of many others who did the same and were never President. And yeah, rabid Paul groupie fandogs, I could give a fuck.

  • Whether this is actually supported by Ron paul or not. This shit is most definitely true. China pretty much owns us now and our government is full of a bunch of greedy fucks who put themselves before anything else. So much for caring about the generations that have to take care of this world when we are gone. May as well have took a wrecking ball to America and told our children that now they are the ones who have to clean it up. This system is bullshit. Peace didn't work, people need to die...

  • @kentj1 I don't think this is an official add. Pretty sure it's fan made using film footage.
