Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is also a congresswoman from Florida, has drafted a bill that would restore the money both parties formerly had access to to help defray the costs of running their quadrennial conventions.
The Congressional Budget Office revealed the move in a letter released Friday, which said Ms. Wasserman Schultz’s proposal to tap a presidential campaign fund would likely mean each party could get about $20 million in taxpayer money to help with their costs.
The DNC is facing tough financial circumstances, with the latest report showing it with just $6.1 million cash on hand-- less than the $6.9 million in debts the committee reported.
By contrast the Republican National Committee reported $20.4 million in cash, offset by just $1.9 million in debts.

Let them have bake sales to pay for it.
what's another $40M to the Party of Liberal Jim?
They run their party just like they run the country.. spend more than they have, then expect the taxpayers to bail them out.
Like 9:47 said.. let them have bake sales.
Not 1 penny of tax payer money to the party of sleaze.
Just more proof how insignificant the Democratic party really is. The republicans really need to get their act together and start representing the American people. If they do they would never lose to these idiots.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz has always been where can we steal some more money from
Not a penny - the law was changed for a reason......
Wasserman Schultz kind of looks like the world's ugliest Cocker Spaniel!
Trump should say something about her face.
The fact that so many believe money is the determination of one's political success or failure is far more telling than them being broke. I thought we wanted money out of politics and the control back in the hands of the people (you know, us).
Typical Democratic view. They can't live within their means so have others pay for their fun.
