"And the public supports the idea; when asked if they would back full public financing for candidates who abide by spending limits and agree to raise no private money, polls consistently find 60-70% support for the idea." --------- I would like to go one, ok many, steps further: - no private money allowed, not even a candidate's which would place people like Huffington and Schwarzenegger on the same level as everyone else. - 20 year moratorium on any public official or employee from taking any kind of compensation, monetary or others (ie no favors) from any industry or organization they regulated. This would knock Tauzin and his Medicare baloney and his $2 million/year salary from BigPharma off its rear. - vote by mail across the board. ========= Just a few things I would wish for because they would actually save us money in the long run and make us a better run country for the vast majority of us.
