Struggling DNC craves tax dollars for convention
2015-12-15
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Already struggling with finances, the Democratic Party has drafted a plan to have taxpayers help pay about $20 million for next summer's nominating convention, reversing a change Congress approved just a year ago.
Need more money? Just print it!
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish...
, who is also a congresswoman from Florida, has drafted a bill to restore money that both parties used to receive from the federal government to help defray the costs of running their quadrennial conventions.

The Congressional Budget Office revealed the move in a letter released Friday, which said Ms. Wasserman Schultz's proposal to tap a presidential campaign fund would likely mean each party could get about $20 million in taxpayer money to help with costs.

#5  Yes, go fleece the Plutocrats of the Bay to subsidize the party on the backs of the American unemployed displaced by foreign workers. You should have no problem since you too don't believe in borders or the working class.

#4  Might I suggest a virtual convention? Mr. Obama, the purported head of the Party, is reputed to have a technically-savvy staff in his ideological army. Surely Google and the other members of the technocracy would be happy to assist the cause with the underpinnings.

Of course Bernie Sanders might be a little lost, but he always looks that way.

Not good with finances? No big surprise there. What's new? Personally, I hope they have to rely on begging on the street and bake sales to fund the convention. Tap the Clinton Foundation for dinero.

#1  Why do they need a nominating convention, they already have the candidate? Downsize the very obvious political charade and save some dough.
