 People want to Make America Healthy Again. A fine goal. But the one that should take precidence is Making America Smart Again. Being healthy follows being smart. Americans are fucking retarded. That's the root problem.

 1. Unfettered school choice (let the failing schools fail. Schools compete. Parents decide the winners)
2. Performance based pay for teachers (employees should compete for higher pay, not just earn it with tenure)
3. I had 3 policy prescriptions but I can't remember for the life of me now... The first two would do wonders.
