When I read of all the millions involved in political campaigns I wonder what effect it is having on the economy. I almost see it as wasted resource, but know there’s more to it than that.
Whether from private individuals or organizations, this has got to have an impact somewhere. Where does it come from? Where does it go? Does it prop up advertising, venues, local businesses in a large way? Has it become a key part of our national economy?

1) The US economy is measured in the tens of trillions of dollars. A few million is comparatively nothing.
2) The money doesn’t just cease to exist when spent on political campaigns; it continually gets recirculated through the economy, like spending on anything else does.
