    I'd throw in two suggestions. Abolish the filibuster, so that a bunch of vengeance-prone spoiled-sport Reopublicans do no block Obama's plans - or opt for some nuclear option plan which will circumvent the endless morass that is the US Senate. Secondly, the super rich who brought us the current disaster need to pay for the damage they've inflicted. We need to abolish all the tax breaks that the wealthy have enjoyed these past few years and impose a hefty surtax on the top 2 or 3 %. They need to face the consequences of their irresponsible actions.
