Cleaning house on the political side of things and implementing strong legislation that corrects the pork-barrel money wasing that goes on day in and day out. If the legislature would streamline its processes and cut spending taxes could be lowered even further. There are a number of things that can be done, its just that the people that it would affect the most are the people we have put in charge of making these changes. So the first step has to be cleaning house, while the second step would be re-writing some legislation. From there it can only get better. But I do agree with your last question - that the situation will straighten out on it's own in time. - perhaps by a sort of the process I described above. But as you know - socialist policies will not solve anything.
