If the “people's choice” could actually get in, that would be a plus. This instead of electoral votes……...

I think the first thing to do is to take away the enormous salaries, perks, and benefits for our elected officials.  They are supposed to be "public servants" not "publicly served".   Who wants to serve the people if there is "nothing" in it for them but the satisfaction of a job well done?  TERM LIMITS FOR SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES! 

Secondly, I would take a good long look at all the public welfare programs that were started 70 years ago, and closely examine the notion of "income taxes".  I think the less money the government needs to operate on a day-day basis, the more it can put towards a strong and competent military, and programs which provide people with educations and job opportunities rather than stipends and charity.  

As far as health care, there needs to be a complete overhaul of the health care system for starters.  It is ridiculous to read a hospital bill and find one has been charged $5 for a band aid.  The EMERGENCY ROOM needs to be for true emergencies.  Clinics that run 24/7 would be a great service to many communities.
