Campaign finance reform; a failed model

There was a time when it was very difficult to find out where political money was coming from. There was a time when attaché cases filled with cash changed hands. These were the bad old days. You know, the days when we passed things like the Wagner Act, wage & hour laws, created the SEC, FCC, FDIC, and a whole alphabet soup of agencies. These were the bad old days when we created NASA, passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, Medicare, Medicaid, and Headstart. Yes, these were the bad old days.
