|  Even most Democrats should agree - spending government money to advertise the "Senate Democratic Caucus" official website on google ads that appear here (or anywhere in my mind), is wasteful government spending.
The Democrats have decried the differential amount that the Senate majority caucus budget gets, but the credibility of such a claim seems shot when the Democrats are using public taxpayer dollars to advertise their websites. In this time of fiscal crisis, the Senate Democrat ads smack of hypocrisy and lack of wisdom. There may be a role for this type of thing, but not when you stake out a moral high ground and accuse the Republicans of misusing their caucus budgets (of course, the shoes are on the other foot in the House). Still, OutsideLansing.com encourages users to click through any Senate Democrat ad. They're going to waste the money anyway, someway, so you might as well help steer some of my tax money back my way. The Senate Caucus is also more than welcome to buy a permanent banner ad sponsorship as well. |
