While we're dreaming… serving officials (and anyone they can't be compelled to testify against) should have to, before taking office:
1. Disclose their income and assets, and keep doing so each year while in office
2a. Put all their liquid assets* into a blind trust, or better yet
2b. Put all their liquid assets* into an index that tracks our economy (not just The Market)
* Minus reasonable living expenses—we wouldn't want them to go hungry, now would we?

Think about it, people that are signing off on trillion dollar checks are only getting million dollar kickbacks. They're not in charge. It's literally an order 1/10^6 cut.
