## Article

Please tell me this is a joke. A super PAC spent seven figures on a spot that says money in politics is the problem, and the treasurer booked the slots. Ordinary people are being drowned out, they said, over a media buy, with a disclaimer smaller than the slogan. That's the card. You are the money. Not buying it from the treasurer.
