My List
I, too, put health care at the top of my list, but more along the lines of preventative health care, increasing the knowledge of how maintenance is better than waiting for disaster. I applaud the idea of making healthier food more available to the general public, perhaps even increasing tax to pay for it (like a junk food tax).
Transportation plans for cities would be great, or finding a way to bring better jobs / stores to neighborhoods. I've seen some great city plans for revitalizing high crime areas with better housing, parks, and stores, in hopes that it'll drive crime down (and have watched as it has in one part of Indiana! Great!) I hope these plans continue to be implemented.
Another upside to moving better stores closer to people would be less reliance on vehicles. I would like to see more man-powered vehicles (or walkers) on the road, and maybe have more driver etiquette taught to those with a license (too many people with no clue that bikes are SUPPOSED to share the road, as they yell out their car windows, "Get on the side walk!" Grrrr.) Sorry, tangent.
Better support for the entrepreneur, of course from the business point of view this means holding the base wage constant for a few more years as more business get going to create more jobs.
Increasing free-trade. Better relationships with other countries to decrease tariffs so we can export as well as import.
USPS Shipping...geez! Last time I sent a package for the cheapest rate, it got lost, and then I was told I should have paid for tracking. If they can't handle shipping as a basic service without tracking, then why offer it? So they can lose it? Sorry, big pet peeve, and I am losing patience with gov't run mail.
Holding local parents accountable for education, not punishing schools when a "teacher" fails. Teachers are working so hard, but have no parental support, there has to be a way to hold the parents accountable for what their children do (or don't do) rather than punish a whole school.
I'm also anti-abortion, but I just don't see how that can be solved politically anymore (I used to). It'll have to come from the ground up, not top down.
OK, there's my list.
