H.R. 1 Provides for Public Funding of Congressional Candidates — 5 Comments

  1. Using taxpayer cash for statist hack candidates that the taxpayers absolutely oppose.

    Plan B – How about the cash ONLY for NON-incumbents ??? HA HA – good luck for thst.

  2. Good… now they need to pass an amendment to cap how much each candidate can raise to no more than $1,000,000 for a House candidate, $10,000,000 for a senate candidate, and $100,000,000 for a presidential candidate (with an annual 2% increase for inflation). And then provide half of that limit to ALL candidates on the general election ballot as public funding. Thus guaranteeing at least $500,000 to Libertarian, Green, Constitution, etc House candidates; at least $5,000,000 to Libertarian, Green, Constitution, etc Senate candidates; and at least $50,000,000 to Libertarian, Green, Constitution, etc Presidential candidates…. All they need to do is cut the military budget by 0.75% to achieve a neutral effect on the budget.

  3. Any const amdt will permit the incumbent hacks to have a mere one cent limit – if not ZERO cents.

    Too many math / Con Law MORONS to count.
