Chapter 728 (1/2)

As the polling date for the mid-term election approaches, Simon's attention does turn to this matter.

The mid-term election in 1994 is related to the political structure of the United States at least 20 years before and after the millennium, and it is also a great turning point from neoliberalism to Neoconservatism in modern America.

All kinds of so-called ”doctrines” can not be explained in a few words. Simon only cares about the elements related to the westero system.

For example, the attitude of the two concepts towards large enterprises.

Neoliberalism pursues fairness, which is why the U.S. government has split up and imposed strict anti-monopoly restrictions on enterprises such as at-t for many years. On the contrary, Neoconservatism advocates market freedom, so in 1994, it became the beginning of a series of industrial oligarchs in modern America.

It is difficult to judge which is better.

In the new liberalism era, the United States economy continued to lose vitality, which led to the rise of Japan to a large extent, making the United States have to use unconventional means to suppress Japan's threat to itself. Similarly, the most prosperous economy and the most serious economic crisis in modern America began in the Neoconservatism era in 1994.

For Simon, the latter can promote the development of westero system.

As a result, Simon might have been more willing to be a Republican supporter if it had not been for the times. In fact, in this mid-term election, the westrow system has begun to lay out bets on both sides.

Over the weekend, Simon spent most of his time dealing with mid-term elections, ostensibly staying at domay point estate.

In the large study on the first floor of Baker villa.

At the end of the call with Joseph schrap of the east coast, Simon puts down the phone and looks not far away. Holding Janet, who is identifying a wall full of nameplates in Seattle, he gets up and walks over to look at 46 pairs of nameplates on the whiteboard. These are the ”sniper plan” and ”maintenance of the basic disk” of the Westeros system in the 1994 mid-term election A list of all members of the house and Senate or candidate members of Congress.

After a series of lobbying, games or exchanges, the original ”sniper plan” of 23 people was narrowed to 21 people, and the ”basic maintenance plan” involved 25 people.

For more than half a year, the westero system has directly and indirectly invested more than 250 million US dollars in these lists on the wall, with an average of more than 5 million US dollars per head.

In contrast, the average campaign funding for a single Senate seat in this mid-term election is only $4 million, which is still on the premise of a substantial increase compared with previous years. The average campaign budget for the house of Representatives is even lower, at $500000.

Therefore, it can also be seen that the investment intensity of westero system is large.

Due to the strict restrictions of the federal election law, of the 250 million dollars, more than 200 million dollars are actually all kinds of indirect investment. The effect of this money may not even reach half of the campaign expenses with a clear purpose. However, as long as it is a slightly passable plan, even if it turns out to be useless in the end, even if it is pocketed by some people, Simon Without hesitation.

Simon westero's money is not so easy to get.

It is well known that the financial supervision of the subsidiaries of the westero system is very strict. In this mid-term election, in order to prevent some illegal channels that should not be used for capital inflow from being attacked, the financial supervision is even more strict, and all expenses above $100000 need to be approved by Simon or Janet

not only that, the intelligence of the Westeros family The team is also closely monitoring the specific cost of funds.

As a result, Simon is basically clear about the money that goes into the private purse.

It's just a deliberate turn of an eye.

When the water is clear, there is no fish.

However, taking money and not doing anything now does not mean that you will not have to pay in the future.

When necessary, these guys who are not in violation of the federal election law but are suspected of embezzlement can just be ”scapegoats” for doing certain things. Or take this as a handle, or go to jail, or do some dirty work that can't be seen, it's also a good use.

Janet and Seattle are playing a name guessing game.

My daughter just looked at the name plate on the wall and remembered it clearly. She even knew exactly where someone's name was. It's a typical photographic memory.

Let the mother and daughter play for a while, Simon said with a smile: ”don't spoil sear so much. Be careful that Moore and Nick won't kiss you in the future. They are your own. Besides, it's Nick's first birthday. Don't you help with the preparation? ”

Janet pointed to another position, listened to Seattle accurately say the answer, intimately pasted a post on the little guy's face, it doesn't matter very much, said: ”Jennie is preparing, I have already said, I exchange with her, sear is mine, Nick is her.”

Simon is helpless.

Janet was very upset because she couldn't get pregnant all the time. In those days, when she saw other people's children, she felt good about them and wanted to take them home to support herself. When she was pregnant with Melbourne, she was very excited for a while.After Melbourne and Nicholas were born one after another, it seemed that they had completed certain tasks, and Janet soon lost interest in such tedious things as raising children. Veronica was in charge of Melbourne in the early days, and now it's Jennifer. For the love of Seattle, more and more intelligent big girls are naturally close to smarter little girls.

Ignoring her husband's expression, the tired Janet tucked Seattle into Simon's arms and asked, ”I just heard you and Joseph talk about the NRA?”

Simon held his daughter, but he didn't mean to avoid the topic to the little guy. He said, ”yes, this time there was too much noise. After the event, the two parties inevitably rebounded. They always had to find a scapegoat to take the lead.”

In this mid-term election, the Democratic Party's disastrous defeat has been confirmed.

The two plans of the westero system, no accident, will end perfectly.

Now we need to consider the aftermath.

Although he is a very important supporter of the Democratic Party, because of the split within the Democratic Party, Simon can't guarantee that someone will jump out against the westrow system afterwards.

The Republican side needs to be more vigilant.

Simon didn't forget a small episode that happened to the Graf family. During this period, in addition to the CIA agents who evaporated among some people, Simon also impolitely destroyed a private equity fund with a scale of about 20 million on Wall Street, and the monitoring and tracing of this incident are still ongoing.

This time, whether it is the ”sniper plan” or the ”maintenance of the basic disk”, most of the targets are aimed at the Republican Party.

Even the winner of this mid-term election, it is difficult to guarantee that the Republican Party will not settle the matter later.

The huge expenditure in the process of the mid-term election of the westero system is undoubtedly a flaw.

If you want to add sin to it, you have no choice.

Even though Simon is very cautious in the operation of funds, it is impossible that there will be no brush action. These are actually the default grey areas of both sides in the past political election process. However, if it is more serious, it must be trouble.

I've been thinking about it for a long time.

The solution is the ”scapegoat scheme” just discussed with Joseph schrap.
