Several simple steps might actually help provide some up-to-date inspiration for America:
Step 1 - get smart, expert Americans involved in a process that addresses our problems of drug abuse, failing public schools, secure borders, and escalating health care costs, a novel and groundbreaking approach that would basically leave the political class out of the process. Use the management model and process that has its roots in other historical U.S. breakthroughs including the Apollo mission, the Manhattan project, the military basing closing commission, the Grace Commission and others, it has worked before and it could work again.
Step 2 - fix Social Security by increasing the retirement age, decreasing benefits and payouts for well off retirees, and change the taxing plan so that everyone pays an equal percentage of their income into the system rather than capping payments at around the first $100,00 so of income. Sounds boring but it would be inspirational to many Americans if that was the case in light of the impending implosion of the Social Security system, i.e. actually fulfilling its original intent is pretty inspirational to me.
Step 3 - implement term limits for all politicians. One of the well known side effects of steroid use is a swollen head and from most people's observations, we can honestly say we believe that most politicians suffer from big heads/egos, further proof of my steroids analogy. Anyway, those that have been in office for decades are possibly part of the problem because they certainly have not come up with any solutions. Better to term limit them out of office and start anews.
It is a shame that a country with these resources and these types of citizens has not been inspired by its ruling political class for over five decades. Since Sputnik we have lost trillions of dollars on non-effective government programs, run up trillions of dollars of national debt, wasted generations of brain power via faulty education, and have a leader, through no fault of his own has to comb the history books for anything close to inspiration. Steroids and imbeciles, a deadly combination.
