1. Change the laws in regard to who can drive.
Some people simply cannot do it. They don't know how to follow the rules of the road and they shouldn't be allowed to drive. We need to test drivers often to make sure that their skills are still strong. In regards to drunk driving, punishments need to be more severe. People idiotically put others' lives in danger and they deserve to go to jail for that...on the first time every time.
2. Legalize Marijuana
Legalize...and tax! The war against drugs is putting a financial strain on our country and has created even more intricate organized crime. The government needs to take over this role and make some money for itself as well as take away some of the power of organized crime. Also, marijuana is no worse than cigarettes. It shouldn't ruin a young person's live just because they smoke it. They shouldn't lose their federal student loans and have to deal with consequences that just don't fit the crime.
3. Require a more Rigorous Finance Curriculum
Sure, Missouri has a one half credit PFM requirement for graduation, but is that really enough? By 10th grade, students have already developed spending habits and a class such as pfm won't make them reconsider. However, if we teach kids at a young age to never spend more than they make, it has a shot at working. People need to stop living beyond their means and maybe with a more targeted curriculum, we can combat that and have a stronger economy.
4. Require schools/employers to Include LGBTQIA in their nondiscrimination policy
How is this not a requirement already? People who's gender identity/sexual preference differs from what society views as "normal" are still people who can contribute amazing things to our world. Instead, they are committing suicide while schools do nothing and getting fired from jobs that they are capable of doing. The sad thing is, all of this is perfectly legal.
I know there is much more that I would change, but that's just what is on my mind today. Good luck humanity!
