Clinton has 2 billion dollars for funding her national election, and folks are saying Trump is trying to raise 1 1/2 billion. That is billion with a b, folks.
And this is just so we can have more of the circus we have already had.
How far would 3 1/2 billion dollars go toward upgrading infrastructure or providing shelter and food for the homeless or upgrading VA hospitals or giving college scholarships–or just about anything more profitable and worthwhile than the mudslinging we have to look forward to?
I agree, the only thing to be said in its favour is all the jobs that money helps to support.

So far it certainly has been their bread and butter if not the rest of us.
