Letters: Spenders by habit

Re “Romney spends big with aides’ firms,” Oct. 27

A lot of money is wasted in political campaigns on useless advertisements. You know, the totally annoying stuff.

It’s too bad that money doesn’t go toward something useful, such as reducing the deficit, funding schools or fixing potholes. You know, stuff that can actually help ordinary citizens. But our political system runs on money these days.

No wonder politicians spend like drunken sailors; they’re used to wasting money before they get into office.
