Editorial In USA Today Tackles House Ethics Inquiry Into Defense Contracts And The Role Of Campaign Cash

Submitted by Johnny Papagiannis on Mon, 11/16/2009 - 11:45am.

USA Today editorialized today on the House ethics inquiry into defense appropriations and the appearance of a correlation between campaign cash and the awarding of defense contracts and call for public financing of elections as a remedy for perceived undue special interest influence. 

 

"What opponents fail to acknowledge is that the current system is untenable. When lawmakers spend huge amounts of time and energy raising money, and more than half the public thinks members of Congress can be bought, it's past time to get special interest money out of elections. If lawmakers no longer feel indebted to big donors, taxpayers are likely to come out ahead."

As election time is approaching many politicians were busy pooling money as their campaign fund. At all cost they will make sure to win. Anyway have you heard the latest buzz about the big leap of Google? Google has just acquired AdMob. AdMob, in case anyone missed the memo, is a mobile advertising company, that specializes in advertising on mobile browsing devices, especially mobile phones and pocket internet browsers. Given that Google is selling a lot of Android operated phones, and a lot of the tech/phone types would buy dog droppings if you say it has Android on it the move makes a lot of sense. Granted, mobile phone users will probably want to vomit because of all the new advertising they have to look at, but acquiring AdMob will be worth the same day loans to Google.
