First radio ad says national debt shouldn't fall to future generations.

Size of the two-week buy not revealed.

When our founders created this country, the idea that we were going to borrow money to provide for people today and charge the next generation for the excesses of today, would have astounded them.

Over half of America now receives some sort of government benefit and 40 cents of that dollar that they’re getting, they’re charging their children and grandchildren for the rest of their lives to pay the debt service on the money that they’re receiving. That is immoral. That is wrong.

Someone has to have the courage to go out and tell the American public we can’t afford the government that we have right now. And we need to cut it back across the board. The promise that we have to the next generation is to hand off America in better shape than it was handed to us, and right now, we are not gonna do that.
