If you think Nvidia had a meteoric rise, buckle up while I tell you about the guaranteed payouts of the NYC Campaign Finance Board.
First implemented in 1988 as a dollar-for-dollar match to ward off corruption, the city's campaign-finance spending has ballooned - like all government programs - into an eye-popping 8-to-1 match.
A $250 donation could be worth up to $4,250 months later. Eyeing a 16-to-1 money line on your campaign burn is better odds than blackjack.
The system was devised and its rules outlined by its very beneficiaries: Politicians like me, ever-focused on raising money for the next race.
