What was said
"Election campaigns are something that should be funded 100% by government money and private donations should be banned. Not even possible. Set it up in such a way that you guarantee you can't buy your politicians."
Economist Steve Keen argues US election campaigns should be funded entirely by the state, with private donations prohibited. He says private money lets politicians be bought by financial backers, shaping decisions in office.
