and yes it is a difficult one to sort out public financing.

Actuall it's not difficult at all. Here's the proper way to frame the question: "Is 'public' financing of political campaigns for Federal office authorized by Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution?"

A quick read of the Article and Section in question reveals the answer to be not just "no", but "HELL NO". Therefore 'public' financing of political campaigns is an un-Constitutional abomination.

Best,

You are going to make me go look up Article 1, Section 8. Do the classes at FR never stop! OK, going there and will be back.
