I'm a born Yankee, with 27 years recent southern experience. Feds need focus on enforcement, not on replacing laws. States need to focus on their social programs' effectiveness and efficiency. Both need to knock off spending on unnecessary things, and live within their budgets. At both levels I'd like to see infrastructure projects that prioritize hiring of folks drawing unemployment. Corporate America needs clean up its ethics, many are exceptional, but the exceptions are increasing. No more fine print offers. No more over embellished products and exaggerating services. Let words like best, fastest, toughest, be words the consumer says to describe the results of the buy, and not a sales pitch."show me", don't exaggerate when you market it.

Last, let's make the battle at Gettysburg a best 2 out of 3, so the south can put up or shut up. Grant rules! :-)
