The New York Times reports that former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is considering an independent run for president and would be willing to spend a billion dollars of his money on a campaign.

Mother Jones editor David Corn would rather see Bloomberg spend that cash on something else:

For $1 billion, @MikeBloomberg could send 5000 kids to college. Maybe he should do that instead of run for president

Progressives would discourage somebody who would take some of the most vigorous anti-gun, Big Nanny initiatives to the White House from running?

@JimmyPrinceton @allahpundit @DavidCornDC @MikeBloomberg a billion dollars only gets 5 thousand kids into college? That's hilariously sad
