FC's RIP America thread inspired me to create a counter-thread; not for the sake of argument, but for the sake of brainstorming. I believe too many politicians and their advisors today are trying to re-package existing institutions and systems when they should be innovating. Coming up with innovative solutions to big issues seems to be lost on the every day American; accepting recycled policies at face value is the norm. I know most of you have ideas and opinions on what could be done to better our stumbling nation and I'd like this thread to be the forum for those ideas and opinions.
