I tend to agree, I'd like to see a WPA created again to replace our
crumbling infrastructure and maybe advance it a bit.

Another thing I'd like to see is that upon graduation from high school
or attainment of the age of 18 you serve a year of national service.
Make it conditional on your right to vote.

While we're on a roll, lets make election days national holidays.

And maybe cut the campaign season down to a month or two.
