I thought a good first step would have been to privatize social security. It simply makes so much sense for young wage earners. Certainly we have to keep our promise to those currently on social security and those near obtaining it. And for people like me (40ish) having some kind of combination. I think people being able to see how more efficient they can save for their future (even if forced) compared to government we may start a trend away from people wanting government to pay for virtually everything. Since their really is no social security trust fund and the money meant to be set aside is being spent, the folks in Washington would be forced to immediately cut current spending. This particular game of smoke and mirrors would end.
