Money for the U.S. Presidential Election

To choose a U.S. president is too expensive. In 2008, it spent $1 billion for the presidential election, and after four years, the spending raised $2.6 billion. Some people foresee the 2016 election will spend $10 billion, breaking all previous elections. We also remember that GDP (Gross Domestic Products) of Bhutan are about $1,7 billion, and Laos’ GDP is only $9.7 billion in 2014.

Where does the money go? “Money is needed for operating costs that go with those campaign office buildings and people and salaries and advertising. Candidates needdollars to get their messages out on social media,television and radio stations, and intopeoples’ mailboxes,” according to the VOA.
