$200 Billion in Ads, Mr. Biden? That’s Real Money
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Conservative groups have not dumped $200 billion in political ads on the heads of Democratic candidates.

It evidently just feels that way to the White House.

In an interview with Al Hunt of Bloomberg News scheduled to be shown Friday night, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. commented on the need for disclosure when corporate interests contribute to political groups.

“I was amazed at the amount of money, this $200 billion of money that is — where there’s no accountability,” he said. “When I say accountability, we don’t know where it’s coming from. There’s no disclosure, so the folks watching the ad can’t make a judgment based upon motive when you say it’s paid for by so-and-so.”

1. I think he meant 200million.... But in D.C. so much comes with a price tag in

the billions, he must have gotten tongue twisted.

3. The whole election process in this country is wacked.

I need to research how other countries do it and why we can't have publicly funded elections that last a sane time period. Let's say 3 months. This constant campaigning from the day they're elected until they're re-elected is nuts and way beyond my comprehension.

More 'stuff' to learn and research. Damnit, I wish I paid attention in school ;)
