I've proposed a comprehensive overhaul to root out corruption in no-bid contracts and other shady deals. Reforms must include the following:
- Instead of rewarding companies that exploit tax shelters and incorporate in tax havens, let's ban the federal government from contracting with companies that hide profits offshore.
- We should put in place safeguards so that contracts are awarded to responsible companies that abide by the law and complete the work they're hired to do.
- Let's put a stop to the disgraceful practice of giving bonuses to contractors for work never performed, which has been allowed to happen in Iraq and throughout the federal government according to the GAO and inspectors general.
- We need to increase transparency and competition in the contracting system, and to stop the ideological privatization of critical governmental functions.
She's not going to be President, but she could could very well put these ideas into practice.
