Cool. IMO 100% publicly funded campaigns would be a good idea to run on. Then again, I've never run in or won an election which also means I've never lost an election either. :) Wouldn't it be nice: - We could, in one fell swoop, take about 80% of the corruption out of the political system by making all campaigns 100% publicly funded. That means, since we're cheap, we wouldn't be inundated with campaign ads and lawn signs. We might see a return to the good old townhall debate. - We could, in one fell swoop, take about 80% of the corruption out of the health care system by getting rid of the age requirement for Medicare and banning all private insurers. :)
