One change should be to limit what is offered in bills and when. Unless it's an emergency, there should be more time given for bills to be studied before being put up for vote. Bills should be limited to specific subject matters with amendments only pertaining to same.
It should be less difficult to replace gov't employees who are not doing a good job.
We should have term limits. People should be allowed enough time to be effective in their elected mission but not long enough to be career politicians. They need to be able to observe a broader spectrum what is actually best for our population and country.
One thing that would cause a lot of screams but would do wonders for the country is to eliminate tax exempt status. That would result in much lower percentages that anyone would have to pay but it would also cut way back on the power that so many of those entities wield. Tax exempt status abuse is so overdone that it needs to be stopped.
By eliminating the exempt status our country would take in enough taxes to stop spending so much money that we have to borrow. We might even be able to cut into the national debt to start having less interest to have to pay.
Babies born in this country should not automatically be citizens if their parents are not. If their parents have been naturalized then it would be just fine but it would stop illegals from coming here just to give birth. Relatives of naturalized citizens could be sponsored by their relatives but not be given automatic citizenship. This way all citizens would have had to study our constitution at some time.
We should stop giving foreign aid unless there has been a disaster of some sort. Poorer countries could be given loans and then shown how to strengthen their economies.
We need to cut back on the monopolies that are happening. They gain too much power that counteracts what may be best for the public or what it might want. Something similar should be put in place to limit the power that individuals can attain simply by being wealthy.
I'll probably think of more things but if we followed all of these things to start with I believe this would be a much better place to live.
