I wouldn't mind seeing a commercial about his position about fiscal responsibility & the penny plan to erase the national deficit.
For an idea that would stand out, I'd like to see the camera starting above him at an angle with a close up of Rand as he is explaining the problem. You can see that he is standing on 100 dollar bills. The camera pans back revealing that he is standing on a massive block of cash (CGI of course). He explains that this is what our National debt looks like in 100 dollar bills. The camera pans back further to show that the block is between the Lincoln Memorial & the Washington monument (or maybe in the center of Central Park, NY) to give a visual comparison of how large our debt actually is. Maybe at the end he could mention that the National debt is not the only debt we have.
I whipped these up in Photoshop when Ron was running:
I found out that 1 million dollars stacked was forty inches tall (in $100 bills). I was curious to see what a large brick of money looked like so I printed a sheet of $100 bills with 7 columns & 14 rows to use as a reference point. Using photoshop I whipped up a brick that was the equivalent of $98,000,000 in my living room. Then I made this gif:
You can see that one block of $98,000,000 at the bottom of the field for scale. And below is a gif of what our National debt was when Ron was running:
With the cost of technology the way it is today, it wouldn't be incredible expensive to create a 30 second spot with a photo-realistic pile of our debt. Visually, I think it would be a striking commercial.
