I have never stopped to think about those people who run our government and their true role. I am surprise to find out that there are millions of dollars being wasted on campaigns just to get a say in the government. After reading "Needed: More time legislating and less time fundraising." written by Ashley Arnerich I have realized that I never really payed attention on how much money candidates spent on campaigns just to be able to have a say in our government, less likely I would know about all their "Supporters" whom help them out financially just because they also want a say in the government and they can't be there. It is really sad to realize that those running our government worry more about keeping their "supporters" happy to stay in office than fixing our problems. If they really wanted to keep our country in good shape they wouldn't let any person manipulate them with money but because they want that seat in Congress they lose the real reason of why they are running.
I agree that there should be restrictions on how much money candidates should waste to keep it even and fair for everyone but also to make sure that they are not only doing it for the financial aid they get. Maybe our problems wouldn't be so serious. I may not make much sense because I just can't really see how it would be if we had regulations about this but think about it and read Ashley's post and then try to imagine if thing would be different. I believe everything would be better if not everything was about money and our problems could be more easily solved.
