But we disagree, I gather, on just how large a problem the current way we finance campaigns actually is. No, I think we disagree on the need to think things through before changing horses. Just because the first horse is bad doesn't mean one should jump on the next quadruped to come along. It could be a pig in a poke. This is similar to your single provider health care--you're for it without having worked it through. You don't invade Iraq or change health care or campaign paradigms without an elaborate model of how the various options might play out. There will always be unintended consequences, but it's irresponsible IMO to not try to anticipate as much as you can.
