Personally, I think the US would be a lot more economically secure if tax increases weren't such an unthinkable concept. With a bit of tax increase (progressive), the government wouldn't have to borrow so much from foreign sources and the debt issue would become more manageable. But, increasing taxes is still such a massive no-no because a perceived increase in federal influence/power, even now, seems to be viewed as a sign of impending Stalinism (or what the average uninformed commentator labels "Communism" or "Socialism").
I think having a nationalised bank, rather than the privately run Fed would be helpful too.
