Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hard money refers to campaign contributions donated directly to candidates and limited by federal election laws. Soft money, on the other hand, refers to funds donated to political parties and not directly to candidates, and is not subject to the same restrictions as hard money. Slush funds are illicit funds used for secretive and often illegal purposes. Easy cash is not a term used in the context of campaign finance.
