The bailout was a joke from conception and managed to do nothing but waste tax dollars. Just one more great example of a lousy chess move made by our government.

Aside from not paying taxes, not the biggest deal, but he just gets “car service” because out of the goodness of his friend’s heart??

You could not make this stuff up. A perfect example of the problems with money and politics yet a “reform” organization is blind to it because it’s not Republicans doing it.

Why can’t the US have party financing as in the rest of the world, based on election results. Why can’t the US have strong programmatic parties? The whole concept of citizen funded elections is flawed as an economist would tell you. I can explain you why.

I thought I was just too stupid or did not care enought to find the minimize button.

Seems to be a flaw with open source systems – not checked for compatiablitity.

Didn’t Obama already promice/sell out to the unions on the employee “free” choice act. The same unions bailed out with the automotive companies. I am shocked, shocked that business and Repblicans would do the same.

Seems like the unions are worried that Obama will not stay bought since the unions are now running advertisements encouraging Obama to keep his campaign “promice” although Obama’s promices all seem to have many conditions.

Too bad for the Unions, Obama no longer needs them, but Obama needs the median voter.

What about the data to date? We have thirty-five years of campaign finance law and matching funding to review. Has any of it reduced corruption in Congress? Will more of the same change anything?

What incentives or distortions do government matching funds create in the system?

What incentives or distortions do limiting donations create in the system? Remember the Clinton’s bundling scandal?

Why would any sane person allow those in power to determine who gets the funding to rise to power? How is that a reform? Sounds like an aristocracy to me.

How is more public financing “fundamental change”?

What about the first amendment?
