The Andy Griffith Ads

That's right. It is taxpayers who are coughing up the $700,000 to run the ad all over the country in a government campaign...

[ElNono]

Yeah, looks like they're being run by the HHS.

A real disgrace. They should pull them out and refund Treasury.

[spursncowboys]

At the end of the commercial, they should put "putting America to work"

[spursncowboys]

I guess Obama has to redo the numbers now. For all the jobs created and saved because of these commercials.

Unreal

700K is peanuts for corporations 1/1000th the size of this country.

[spursncowboys]

corporations budget for commercials to take a larger share of the market. The corp also has to answer to their shareholders as to the impact of the commercials. what is the incentive for us tax payers for this?

[Veterinarian]

It's bullshit, but 700k is kind of peanuts in National terms. Hell you can't even retire with 700k in the bank unless you're old as hell or living in a lost cost of living area.

Nice to see our government using tax dollars to sell us on something we're obligated to participate in.

I didn't know Andy needed work. Why doesn't he get a job through his son Opie?

[ElNono]

I don't care if it's little money or not compared to other commercial campaigns.
There's absolutely no justification for spending our money in that stuff.
