Ms. Huckabee seemed to be the only “staff” who came to Iowa with her dad in July, 2008, when her dad gave the keynote at the Republican Party of Iowa’s state convention. News today: Sarah Huckabee is running a senate race in Arkansas.

Does congress really wish to eliminate the country’s deficit? If they do, they should perhaps pass a bill that limits the amount a person can spend to get elected to an amount equal to what the job will pay is they are successful in their campaign. For instance, a congress person will receive $174,000. per year, so a 6 year salary would be $1,044,000, thus the total amount that could be spent to campaign for the position would be $1,044,000. Have all excess money raised by the supporters be immediately deposited into the general government fund to help reduce the deficit. Thus if $24,000,000. was raised, only $1,044.000. could be used to promote the candidate, and the balance of $23,056,000 would be immediately deposited to the federal government general fund to help reduce the deficit. If they aren’t serious about helping the government, they shouldn’t be running for the position.
