Soap Box

Mitt Romney spent roughly $600,000 a week, $10.2 million in the year 2007 on campaign commercials alone according to this article in cnn politics .com. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/13/romney.ads/index.html. Just commercials not any of the other NECESSARY tactics and strategies needed to run an effective campaign. Romney's running mates aren't far behind.
A study recently done by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty states that approximately 3.5 million people in the U.S., 1.35 million of them children, are likely to experience homelessness in a given year (National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, 2007).
Mitt Romney concedes the presidential race, it feels like a $10.2 million dollar gamble to me, and it didn't pay off. Some would argue there is absolutely no correlation between the amount of money political candidates spend on their campaign and the amount of homelessness in our country. Ask just one of the 1.35 million children that experience homelessness and I think they would tell you differently. Does anyone else think there is something wrong with this picture? One of the many questions I have that will probably never be answered.
