I’m listening to the Joe Rogan Experience episode that he was on yesterday. It appears that it’s not his idea, but he’s the first I’ve heard championing it.

Basically, it sounds like citizens would get X number of vouchers worth X amount of dollars each. For example, let’s say each voucher is worth $50, and each citizen gets 4 of these vouchers every election.

Politicians would then have to make their case to citizens to convince them to give them some or all of these vouchers. Politicians can then use these vouchers to spend on their campaigns.

It’s an interesting idea. I’m not sure I’m on board yet since the devil is in the details, but I’m curious what you guys think. Here’s Lessig’s wiki profile:

I don’t think I’d trust the Democrats to craft such a system by themselves. But maybe some bipartisan bill if such a thing is possible...
