A couple comments:
- Internally, one thing I would like to see is the government lowering the national debt. We as a nation are spending more than we make.
Nearly 200 billion currently. It doesn’t really matter until the rest of the world starts loosing faith in the US. If I understand this concept from what I’ve been told by someone who knew quite a bit about this.
- I would like to see the prohibition on drugs ended. Honestly, it didn't work on alcohol, and it isn't working with all the rest right now (no, I don't do drugs either). We spend too much enforcing it, and too much on keeping offenders in jails and prosecuting them.
Some but not all I think. I think the ones that turn people into whores for drugs should probably stay as far out of reach as possible.
- I would like to see more government bureaucracies enter the private sector under the ideal that competition will produce a more efficient result.
The effect of privatization does produce a more efficient result. However remember that privatization makes it profit-driven and share holders want to see increasing profits. There is only so much that can be done to improve genuine efficiency. After it gets to a point where efficiency is not increasing fast enough (it’s approaching a limit) profit is driven up other ways, often by cutting what the non-shareholders think the company should be doing. Basically it becomes a battle of money vs morals or duty. And we all know the good side doesn’t always win.
