The presidential campaign has reached the $2 billion mark. Each candidate, plus the “Super PACs,” plus political party dollars have added up to this presidential election raking in $2 billion.

It won’t stop. We will give reasons as to why this is “necessary,” and even some who will say it “helps the economy.”

But I find it unconscionable.

Democrats. Republicans. It’s about the money. It’s about the power and the ability to influence that power.

And. It’s. Wrong.

That kind of money that floats out there and people decided to turn it toward one election where the winner makes $400,000 a year? We can do nothing else with that money? Really?

Somewhere along the way this may actually hit us in our conscience. I know today is not that day. But, today, it bothers me.
