>Fix the lawmakers and you stop all the bad faith influence.

One-sentence simple solutions to one of the most complicated problems humanity faces. How do you propose to do that? Lawmakers are in charge of their own rules. There is no incentive to change their own incentive structure from within.

Well, it's a more limited scope then attempting to address every greedy person on earth with enough money to lobby.

Potential solutions could include direct democracy, line item veto, or maybe both?

I don't claim to have a solution, and that should be no reason to not address the topic of what problem society needs to solve.
