Really Big Money PoliticsSubmitted by Johnny Papagiannis on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 5:04pm.
The New York Times editorializes on the need to fix the presidential public financing system and urges that a public financing system be created for Congress as well.
"Mr. Obama made much of a promise to fix it, once elected. So, the time has come to fix it.
"He needs to set a strong example for Congress and the status quo laziness of Washington and move convincingly for revival of the public option, which served the nation well. This would create pressure for a similar system of restraint by Congressional candidates now basted with special-interest money. As the lucre builds to critical mass, a public option for Congressional and presidential candidates becomes ever more vital."

I totally agree with your points, money does play a big role if you really want to succeed in the field of politics. When will our world stop being so focused on money. If our economy would stop wasting so much money on politics and their campaigns things might be less, screwed! But either way. Thanks for sharing this... just wish it was a little different with our politics. It is a well known fact that these politicians play with huge money hence the stakes are very high.

I was just talking to a friend of mine today about how scary it is that these money hungry politians are in charge our country and saving money on air conditioning maintenance , great information thank you. i was reading something similar on another website that i was researching. I will be sure to look around more. thanks Seriously, Politics is all about money, no discipline or respect. It is just the game of money. Equated with politics is the big amount of money involved. Hopefully every money counts, what I’m trying to say is that they make it worthy. Remember that the money is coming from the fund of the government so wise spending has to be made. FICO is doing us all a bit of a favor – they've released a glimpse into their Byzantine point deduction system. For one, deductions are larger from people who make mistakes with high scores than those with low scores. A 780 score holder will get a larger ding if they make a payment 30 days late instead of getting a cash advance to cover it, and a person with 580 score will get a ding, but the deduction from their score will be smaller.
