Campaign spending

I see the homeless begging at every corner.

I see parents of sick children and the elderly unable to afford healthcare. I see those on fixed incomes unable to afford life-giving medicine or food to put on their tables, with no increase in Social Security.

Then I read that Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio’s political campaigns spent $235 million on failed presidential bids. There is something terribly wrong here.
