1. I have the solution, PUBLICLY FUNDED ELECTIONS!!! No campaign contributions!

No more junkets paid for by Lobbyists, cut off all avenues of undue influence. No more legal insider trading for politicians (they took that away when they were catching heat and re instituted it 6 months or so later when the press moved on).
