Campaign spending
I am not comfortable with the amount of money we are spending on political campaigns. We are spending upwards of billions of dollars on campaigns meant to manipulate the undecided. That money could go towards helping so many other causes, and I see no point in spending that much on it. I can see money needed for travel, speeches, etc, but the money being used on ads trashing the opposing candidate is wasting money. The government should put a law on how much money can be spend 2 years prior to a campaign.

I agree with you. The fact that probably half of the money raised is spent on ads is crazy. That much money should not be spent just trashing another person. That should actually be used to educate voters and to get people to see you side of the story. It shouldn't be trashing your opponent
