Campaign $$$

I think that there is too much money going towards campaigns. Millions and Billions of dollars is too much for a presidential campaign! When a candidate doesn't win the election all of the money he/she raised is wasted. I think the money raised for campaigns is ridiculous. Millions of dollars for tv commercials is crazy! There are more important things to spend money on. I think the government should step in and do something about this. I think it would be a good idea for the government to set a limit on how much a candidate can raise. I would think that the government would realize by now that they could use all that money for much more important things.

I completely agree with Lizzie. She points out the fact that millions of dollars are wasted on the candidates who lose the election and on commericals. The money could be spent on something much more beneficial to the United States as a whole, opposed to just spending it on political candidates and campaigns.

I also agree that the millions and billions of dollars are not worth anything after election has passed. What if you didn't win? then that large amount of money would all be a waste. Candidates shouldn't be so reliant on all the donations because at the end, its just nothing.
