The question presumes that the present system is salvageable, if we just add…? Nope. The present system is actually working as designed. Or, rather, redesigned over the last several decades. It only appears dysfunctional, because we mistakenly believe the function of government is to serve the people. That hasn’t been true since at least the Eisenhower era. US Government serves the “Military-Industrial Complex” Eisenhower warned us about.
