In this year's presidential campaign election over one billion dollars will be spent on campaigning .Some candidates who drop out have spent around 4 times as much as the candidates who are still in the race. At the same time many of the candidates preach government spending and how to fix the nation's debt. Our nation is in about 20 trillion dollars in debt so why are we spending so much on our campaigns .The United States of America is the country with their most debt One reason that public funding is bad because it takes public funds to the many political parties and then it takes money away from schools and hospitals which then the money goes to the rich politicians. Also some really poor schools that who can't even
afford textbooks. The people should come first before the top richest people in the state. Also through public funding the people/taxpayers would be forced to pick a party and support the candidate.This ties to the decreases in voting ,if the people have to have an opinion and that impacts them, Finely public funding creates a divide in three people and political leaders. Public spending is bad for the people.
Some people say that public funding is necessary for democracy .They believe that the state giving money to candidates instead of schools and hospitals. Also that the new political leader can make the state more money. money . But still public funding is still bad .
