1) Clean house in the SEC: Without a doubt the most corrupt law enforcement agency in the United States, and when they're not playing favorites they're just being generally incompetent. Put some hateful assholes in there who actually despise Wall St. and maybe we'll see some of the crooks actually go to jail. Congress can pass whatever financial regulations it wants (lets be serious though, it wont), but without proper enforcement the rules just get trampled on.
2) Impose import tariffs: Unfortunately NAFTA keeps us from protecting domestic industry from two of our largest importers, but we can still isolate the bigger EU producers and East Asia. The loss of middle class manufacturing jobs has really hurt 3rd and 4th tier American cities and all but destroyed smaller working communities in rural areas.
3) Rethink our subsidy priorities: Looking at the energy companies here. If energy innovation is supposed to be what bails us out of this mess we cannot keep incentives for maintaining our unsustainable energy infrastructure.
