Where did I say or imply that "money can cure any problem?" As I've said several times in this thread, my cure would be to limit the size and scope of the federal government. If the government is restricted from doling out so many dollars and favors, the special interests and lobbyist who seek dollars and favors will find other things to do with their time and money.

There has been research that finds a pretty good correlation between size of gov't, and level of campaign spending.

I'll take your word for it, I don't have the time to read through an 89 page law paper about a topic I am only mildly interested in.
