I agree with the sentiment, but his solution seems like a lot of hot air.
President Obama shouldn’t stop with an executive order requiring government contractors to disclose their political contributions... He should ban all political activities by corporations getting more than half their revenues from the federal government.
Quite a bit of contribution and lobbying spending data is already readily available, and banning corporations from being politically active is unconstitutional as per Citizens United. We recognize the problem; we need viable solutions. Like a sustained populist movement in favor of amending the Constitution.
