MONEY IN POLITICS By Marick F. Masters

Money in Politics is a biweekly newsletter on the role of money in federal and state elections.

It reports data on trends in expenditures, who are the leading donors, and who are the major contributors. We have seen a sizable increase in spending on federal elections. But let's put these numbers in perspective relative to the size of the nation's GDP and the federal budget.

Solving the scope of money in politics requires addressing the magnitude of government involvement through spending and regulation. See the link below for the text of MONEY IN POLITICS.
