Put Your Money Where Your Loud Mouths Are

"After outside groups spent more than $1.3 billion in independent expenditures to influence the outcome of the election, we now get to see just what all that money bought them -- or didn't."     
Think of all the potholes that money could have fixed. The same people who brag about having built the businesses all by themselves are the same ones that use & abuse our roads & streets the most as they go about their business of reaping their profits. The infrastructure that's crucial to their success, and that suffers from their efforts, is left to we the people to pay for. That way they have plenty of money to buy politicians & advertising for those politicians. If they honestly believed that the private sector does everything better they would maintain the infrastructure that enables their businesses to thrive.
