This is a feel-good measure that is easily circumvented, an 8-year-old lemonade stand owner could get around it.

There's only one solution, a general fund that bOtH pArTiEs use to run campaigns. If you run of money, well, that means you suck, pay for it out of pocket, you hacks. You don't have a problem trading stocks to make a fortune, figure it out.
