Our view: Campaign finance regulations need to be addressed
November 5, 2012. The article comes from the Post-Tribune by Terre Haute
Summary
:2012 presidential election which was long and expensive process ended. Democratic party won the election so that president, Obama could run for more 4 years. For election, about more than 1 million television ads supported each candidate to citizens. Labor unions and other special-interest groups poured unlimited contributions to create and fund for their candidate by spending more than half a billion dollars. Seriously, the total campaign spending exceeds 1 billion dollars as well as $900 millions out of $1 billions were spent for attacking the rival candidate. Therefore, only a dew wealthy individuals can get essential things from the the lax campaign financing laws. So the 113th Congress need to address the United State's campaign finance regulations.
My opinion
:I think that both candidates spent a lot of money for their campaigns. Actually, they had no choice but to do their campaign to get more votes by advertising, phone calls, and door-to-door visiting. Even though the candidates have already realized that American has been suffering from debts, they just tended to spend more money for campaigning instead of saving them for paying for debts. It would be better if the next presidential candidates spend less money for campaigning.
