POLITICS?

I'm listening to the news this morning and one of, [or maybe both] candidates are broke, oh toooo bad. We have all this hunger and poverty and God knows what else in the world and our own country and these people are spending millions on election campaigns while promising a better future? How and when? I do not understand why they need so much money to run in the first place. I really don't. Especially with the amonts involved, so yep, that's about it for that, and no, I will not vote for either one of the top two. Promises, promises. whatever.
