I think there are two things we need to do.
1) We need to make war profiteering illegal. Corporations should only make enough to cover expenses on any weapons or services rendered. This alone will keep us out of any more unnecessary wars.
2) We need some serious lobby reform and regulation. Laws should be written by the congressmen and not by the corporations. This will reduce pork barrel spending and help reduce the deficit.
That would be a good start, but I don't see any politicians pushing for it. The only way is for the people of this country to get it done probably through a referendum or something.
Just my .02
Hear, hear, Hal, I've thought the same thing for years now. Those are exactly the 2 things I would enact first. For one thing, corporations have too tight of a stronghold on America and that needs to be loosened. These 2 ideas together would go a long way towards that end.
