Quote:How could that possibly be the first way to help campaign finance? Not actual donations or ads or transparency but stopping grants? Grant that while at times corrupt and wrapped in bureaucracy have led some of the greatest advancement of our times and are likely generally not corrupt?

See that's where we don't see eye to eye I think everything Washington touches is generally corrupt.


I didn't mean to sidetrack the conversation into a campaign finance topic but was trying to demonstrate a big reason why there is corruption and politicians being bought off is because of the grant money the offer in return.


In a perfect world public funding grants would be used to invest in projects to better the nation, in the world we live in there used to buy political advantages and favors.
