Just think of all the good that can be done if all that money being spent on this election process was put to good use and not being spent on negative ads.

(15,438 posts)They're hoping to buy the White House and Congress with their hundreds of millions. Don't feel sorry for them, though. Should America be stupid enough to vote Republican - or third party which is a vote for the Republican Party - they'll take it out on the backs of the employed, from middle class down to working poor, while collecting more tax cuts after the U.S. borrows more money from China.

(8,515 posts)This article turned your last statement upside down for me, because I also believed we owed China trillions. Evidently, out of our 14 trillion dollar debt, we only owe China about one and a half trillion dollars. The rest of our debt is owed to.......drum roll........ourselves. Yep, that's what it said, beginning with the enormous amount owed to the ss trust fund(?)?, medicare, etc. Now you know why so many pugs want to kill medicare and ss. Also the enormous amount we owe for the purchase of us treasury bonds. How do you like that folks? Just a little three card monty. The more I read, the more I know. Yeah!

(10,602 posts)The money is an investment to get the government you want. That way you can rape, pillage and plunder economically at will and realize astronomical gains on your investments. That is how you get all the working class schmucks working for you for less than a pittance. Find and watch the Thenardier on youtube in Les Miserables song "Master Of The House". The song describes exactly how Repiglicans are. They are leeches and will draw every last drop of blood out of you.
