Think big: political reform must be cultural, not just institutional

America has deep-rooted societal and cultural problems that often get passed over for “easier” institutional reforms

I sent a proposal for “How to fix America” to a colleague earlier this evening. I’m attaching it below and soliciting some feedback. This was rather hastily typed out — lots of it needs work and I have probably missed something obvious — but I think it is nevertheless a good jumping-off point in trying to think big

Keep this question in mind for the comments section: What single reform do you think could go the longest way toward “healing” America? Define “healing” however you like.

Note: this is an extra post. I hope you find it stimulating, but I’ll write a better column on the polls tomorrow either way.
