When will the government listen to the "will of the people" and just
outlaw spam and tele-marketing (with severe enough penalties to deter)?

Ooops.  I'm sorry.  I had brain fart.

I wasn't thinking that the lobbyists for keeping spam and tele-marketing
around have deeper pockets than the poor users.  Combined with the
golden rule of capitalism: "He who has the gold makes the rules.",
results in what we have today.

I think that the do not call list will result in a new call list worth
$$MM.
