This is why I think the 3rd parties out there need to come together on a common goal. Transparency, getting money out of politics and bring the power back to the people |
I don't think it's money in poltics that's a problem.
It's specific bribery.
There are two main lines of thought when the effect of campaign financing is measured.
1) You need a "Ceratin threshold" of funds, and after that, there is no real effect.
2) There is an effect, but mostly only for challengers who still need to get there positions out.
Though either way... why would you want more power in the hands of people who are less accountable... I can't see why. To me, more government control means more corruption and more bribes, because they now have a lot more to barter with.
Don't be surprised if insurance company products go through the roof if ACA is passed....
and health insurance still costs more, with claims that it "lowered the increase in spending"
ignoring thef act that healthcare cost increases were already decreasing before this whole debacle.
