Things are bad, money is scarce and credit is tight. Right?

Not for everyone! Politicians at every level of government are spending like....well...like politicians.  There seems to be no shortage of money for them. Do you suppose they've found a way to tap that "Bail-out" fund?  Hundreds of millions of dollars in political funds are being pumped into the advertising industry this year.

Did you ever wonder where it all came from if money is so tight? This influx of money (there are rumors some of it's foreign) makes advertising rates artificially high for legitimate business that really can't afford the extra expense.

There's a reason for the sharp downturn in business this year.  The reason is politics.
