Public funding of all elections would solve SO MANY problems in the US! Just think, no more negative ads and no more money = speech. All the candidates get the same funding and they have to use it wisely. The ONLY other "advertising" allowed is individuals and groups saying I endorse "whoever" and that's it.
You caused a bunch of good discussion, you can be wrong, but it's not bad to be wrong and learn from it.
And nothing of value was lost.
