Every year, the cost for presidential campaign has been increasing significantly. As a matter of fact, if the costs being shelled out by both the Republican and Democratic parties for their campaigns are added the cost will reach more than twice than that of the cost eight years before. As an example, in the year 1196, the cost was $448.9 million and in 2000 it was $649.5 million. In 2004, the cost soared to $1.01 billion.
Imagine that huge amount of money. You can actually run a small country with it, or finance some third world universities, or help relieve the hunger in Africa.
