Democrats Launch Convention on Taxpayers' Dime

“50 Days, 50 Ways” attacks campaign welfare, breaks $20 billion

(Nashua)  As the Democratic Party launched its National Convention with taxpayer funds, Republican Grant Bosse called for an end to taxpayer subsidies for political parties.  The Presidential Election Campaign Fund will divert $55 million in taxpayer funds this year for Presidential candidates, and for the Democratic and Republican Conventions. This latest proposal has pushed Bosse’s innovative “50 Days, 50 Ways to Cut Federal Spending” initiative to more than $20 billion in specific federal spending cuts.
