Everyone loves to bitcch. Few provide reasonable answers.
Sigh......

no, this is an electronic tiger that tabs is using to prove a point. He isn't interested in any "answers", just any response that can then be shouted down, resulting in the "see? you can't please everyone."
Didn't see suggestions in your post. Or in my "what's wrong and right with education" thread.
Flat tax. Enforce existing laws that punish companies that hire illegal immigrants. Do away with the "you're born here, you're a citizen" rule.
Provide a minimum level of public health care for all legal citizens.
Cut gov't spending mostly by eliminating ridiculous redundant agencies that can't seem to work together (start with teh three-letter ones and go from there). Get Iraq to some baseline stability then get out. Keep economic and diplomatic pressure on N. Korea and Iran.
Increase gas taxes. Raise the minimum mpg standards. Find incentives for alternative transportation and alternative energy research.
Eliminate tenure at public schools (K-16). Increase pay and decrease administration. Scrap the NEA and create a thin national infrastructure that loosely couples local/state schools. Make oversight based on a combination of peer and local/state admin with private input.
That's a start...
