Citizens Against Government Waste has created a video that’s that depicts a Chinese professor, in the year 2030, lecturing to students on why the United States of America collapsed. The reasons are the ones we are now fearing, yet not reversing: stimulus spending, health care policy, government intervention into private industry, high taxation and government debt. The professor ends his lecture with “Now they work for us,” and the students laugh. And laugh.

It’s no laughing matter.

Here is the transcript of the video:

[Bejing, China 2030 A.D.]

Why do great nations fail?

The Ancient Greeks…
the Roman Empire…
the British Empire…
and the United States of America.

They all make the same mistakes,
turning their back on 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 takeovers of private industries,
and crushing debt.

Of course, we owned most of their debt…
so now they work for us.

[laughter]
