I think this is the wrong ask. Stronger anti-fraud and anti-corruption laws. Ethical requirements for politicians, and appropriate sanctions for violating them.

I think this is the wrong ask. Stronger anti-fraud and anti-corruption laws. Ethical requirements for politicians, and appropriate sanctions for violating them. Standing army and war taxes. Some or even all of these things should be made constitutional amendments so they are enduring, and not subject to political histrionics. What we really need is better functioning and accountable government. If we don't have that first, a bunch of money just gets wasted, and what we're in sore need of is better value, and a better return for our money.
