15 Ways to Fix the World: Summary

Overall, there are some decent suggestions among the 15 (a national high-speed rail line, an end to the war in Afghanistan, and a reorganization are my three favorites).
However, I think many of these plans are based on speculation and lack any convincing power if ever they would be presented formally to Congress or the American people. It will be difficult to convince people (especially today’s congressmen and women) that these ideas are worth pursuing.
When the country went through the depression, F.D.R implemented the New Deal, with a supportive congress, and flooded Capital Hill with new programs that would, he hoped, pull America out of the Great Depression.
These plans are not exclusively for the purpose of reviving the economy, but they are all aimed at the general revitalization of our world. And like I say, there is just no motivation to go through with some of them.
I know the point of making a list of ideas is to think of a lot of them, even if they are bad, and try to find one or two that will really work. To me, however, this list is just a poor effort at that. We could find many more substantial ideas than these (I don’t claim that I could do better personally, but some one can).
