It seems everyone has a bitch about the current and past governments of this and other countries, But no solutions. So, what are some solutions? What can "we the people do"? Outside of all out insurgency, and even including that, what are your solutions? Remember, anyone can bitch. My first order of business would be to quit this partisan bullshit and get organized, I know, the hardest part, And no, I don't know how to accomplish this.

put term limits on these senators and stop all the lobbiests.... its all crooked if ya ask me. Also lower the retirement age to 55 then that will increase jobs by people retiring younger .

Yes, one step at a time, remove the sinister players, good. I believe the removal of lobbiests is the most crucial element of change to our government.

get rid of congress and the senate and all politicians. revert the power of state back to the state. Less government and more freedom for business (mainly small business). Entrepreneurs make up 80% of the businesses today. Reward them for their hard work and reward them for creating jobs. Give us the freedom to run our own lives. Noone knows whats best for me except me. and legalize cannabis and tax it, that will cover 8 trillion in a few years.

I say to elect a more diverse group of very well educated people. That way if they don't understand from prior knowledge they would be able to listen and learn from the people that do.

Right now it is the blind leading the blind, and all actual science gets pushed to the back of the class.

I have to admit Med, this is a great positive thread.

We need to drop all the politics, religion and race stuff first. Labeling people leads to demonizing them. Once people can see that we're all in this together, they might think about each other differently.

I think a law should be passed making lobbying illegal. We vote our congress folks into office and then they legislate according to the lobbyist alliances they have established whilst in office. A government by the capitalists, of the capitalists and for the capitalists.
