What do you think we could do in America with the $280+ million dollars being spent on the Presidential campaigns? I’d go as far to say (and it really isn’t a stretch) that we could do ALOT more with that money than electing either of these imperialist men will do. For sure. Things like feed the hungry or build better trains or fix broken bridges or go to Mars or fight AIDS or research cancer. Things that matter. All this money might as well be burned. It just makes me sad.
