And how much would public financing cost?
The estimates are that a voluntary, full public financing program for Congress would cost about $1.4 billion per year.
In other words, for less than a third of what private companies were "earmarked" in '05, we could be offering a clean, fair, viable alternative that takes special interests out of the electoral process.
To me, that sounds like a better way to spend our tax dollars. I guess I must be slow.
