Record Million@ Raised By Candidates

It is so nice to know that Hillary Clinton has raised $26 million in the first quarter of 2007 and has an additional $10 million from the Senate campaign while Edwards has raised $14 milion. The GOP is close with Romney at $23 million, Guiliani at $15 million and McCain at 12.5 million. This is the first quarter folk. What is the return on investment? Consider this, and know that this is only examining 5 people; 4,000 jobs at $25,000 per year could be created yeilding an additional tax base while the same dollars ($100 million) could provide 19,230 summer youth jobs at $10 per hour for a 3-month period. You do the math and maybe you will be motivated to see the money spent on housing, education, transportation, health care…something other than - this - enough is enough. What do you think?
