Where your taxes are going!!

Is it a case of the more you spend the better chance you have of being Elected!

WASHINGTON (AP) - Spending by presidential and congressional candidates and the national party committees that support them already tops $1 billion for the 2004 election cycle, with more than two months of campaigning to go.

It is my observation/hypothesis that increasingly there is a very unfortunate trend in the selection of the American president.

It seems that the guy with the most money and the most mud to sling at his opponent wins the race.

I think that this is why the quality of your presidents -- regardless of party -- is deteriorating at each new election.

In Australia here where we live I can't imagine spending up to 1 Billion! I believe though that we should spend the money that they would waste on Election Spending on Health.

They want nothing more then to do justice and improve our contry, so bad, that they are willing to spend 1 billion to do it!
