OK, sure, maybe make some things illegal if your government is incapable of spending money well, but you definitely need to weigh the pros and cons in that case, not impose a blanket ban on anything with a negative externality!

If this was a hugely important issue, yes, try to change it. However until then, lets not waste political capital on it.
