On October 21, 2010, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) unveiled a national ad addressing our country’s spending addiction, the dangers of relentless deficits, and the corrosive nature of our national debt.

This ad is part of an ongoing communications program in CAGW’s decades-long fight against wasteful government spending, high taxes, out-of-control deficit spending, and a crippling national debt that threatens the future survival of our country.

CAGW is a 501(c)(3) private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization representing more than 1 million members and supporters nationwide.  CAGW works to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government and has helped expose such high-profile symbols of federal profligacy as the Defense Department’s $640 toilet seat and $436 hammer and the $223 million congressional earmark for Alaska’s infamous “Bridge to Nowhere.”  Founded in 1984 by the late businessman J. Peter Grace and late Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Jack Anderson, CAGW is the legacy of the President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, also known as the Grace Commission.  Learn more about CAGW.
