Spoiler: Best: Free enterprise and the entreprenurial spirit. In America people are willing to take chances, to try new things, to push the envelope and display the kind of grand vision that has made us a world leader in technology, economy, and politics.
Worst: Our ego- and ethnocentric view of other nations and other peoples. Americans may think it's not cool to eat grasshoppers, or that it's not cool for a woman to wear a burka, but that doesn't make it so. Other societies have their own norms and customs.
To maintain the good, I would contniue with the generous allowance of small business loans. I would also federally fund schools to make sure that all kids have adequate facilities and teachers, rather than being dependant on their local area's wealth.
The internet is a great tool to alleviate the bad aspect I mentioned above. The more people are exposed to other cultures, the more accepting they become. I would also take great measure to make sure our civil rights were protected.
