“All the phone companies have to do is this: set up a verification process which blocks the incoming call until an encrypted cookie is sent back to the source number and returned to the destination number. The whole process takes maybe one nanosecond. Numbers which don’t return the cookie are deemd to be fraudulent and the call is dropped.”

This would work.

Also, public execution of those who make phone calls from bogus caller id numbers.

They already have a process for this, but it’s an opt-in system and specific to VOIP/SIP.

Still laughing over your post. (I'm also in favor of capital punishment for people who dress their dogs too.)
