Totally agree.  Couldn't get any worse than it is today.  And, with publicly financed elections, real people...the ones who are teachers, plumbers, small business owners, etc would have the chance to represent the people.  The billionaires all too often lack the experience or understanding of 98 percent of the people.  The people running for the last Republican Presidential election were a disgrace to this country.  To see that we ended up with a Trump signifies that this system is totally broken.
