I am not an expert on this, (so don't quote me) but from what I've come away with on it is that right now a candidate gets matching funds from the government based on what they raise privately if they become the presidential nominee.  I don't know about you but I am not excited about the prospects of picking up the tab for the difference.  Anything the government touches already cost twice that of private industry as that is because people know they can charge whatever and it will get paid.  Just look at the price of say toilets to the military, you or I could go buy one for less than a hundred bucks, the military on the other hand it's ten times or more than that.  

Look at the debacle recently where Bernie was skirting his campaign workers whereas they weren't making his often quip promise of fifteen dollars an hour for everyone.  Did he up the ante and pay it?  Yes he did but he cut their hours.  Now imagine if it wasn't on Bernies dime to pay that and instead the burden came upon the taxpayers?....then why not twenty, thirty dollars an hour?...he wouldn't be paying it, you and I would.  

Then take into account the loss to the private job sector during campaigns.  Under his plan there'd be no more conventions, etc., though campaigns cost outrageous amounts of money that money gets redistributed back into communities creating convention related revenue through hotel rentals, restaurants, food vendors, retail shops, not to mention printing companies who obviously must make a small fortune off all those signs....which by the way will double in price once you and I are paying for them.    Once they start to ban one convention why not start banning them all?...I mean, really, why would you want to allow a presidential candidate that you and the media are telling everyone in the US that they are hated and despised by everyone only to have them hold rally's where thousands upon thousands of people are showing up?  Perhaps a bit of a hidden agenda on Bernies part along with a whole lot of jealousy?

Look how well this has worked out for Trump trying to reform how democrats operate pointing out the blatant corruption and asking for help getting to the bottom of it.  

Seeking for a taxpayer funded only federal campaigns will more than likely soar to twice that which it cost now.  Anytime government gets involved in anything it becomes costlier than the private sector.  The real reason he wants to go this route is because after he implements his socialist agenda no corporation is going to donate to him.  The first time out of course he's going to have to foot the bill himself but once elected we are going to foot his bill for re-election.

I think what people fail to realize here that free everything sounds so good but in the end will only cause corporations to move out of the country, along with all their billionaires and millionaire but will only increase the price of products they sell in this country to tenfold.  Think about the whole pie scenario, if you have one to sell but are reaping only half the benefits of the sale just how would you as the seller of pies get back some of the other half?  You'd raise the price.    Real reforms start in the process of making it less lucrative to begin with to have your product made in third world polluting countries.  Real progress on the so called climate issue start the same way.  What David's so excited about here is the potential to have your cake and eat it to, he wants all this free stuff plus cheap products flooding in at his benefit to the detriment of the US economy, as anyone with means will close up shop and flee the country leaving already overburdened taxpayers to foot the bill.
