Money For Nothing

While spending $6 billion for the ‘12 election sounds like a lot, it’s just 0.0375% of our GDP, or just 3.75 cents/$100. It’s about as much as Americans spend renting movies, and it’s less than we spend on Halloween! What’s galling is spending all that time and money to reelect the same politicians we hate! The most expensive race was the Kane/Allen Senate race in Virginia at $80 million.
