The US should change the name for which we refer to another country to the pronounciation in their own culture or language. We can start with easy ones like changing Spain to Espana and Japan to Nippon. It doesn't have to use their language's characters, but atleast the way that the words are used in spoken language would sound the same.
States should create a lottery, where homeowners can pay $1 more on their state taxes to be put into a pool of money. The winner gets a home renovation that upgrades to code (including amnesty for any work done without a permit) and energy efficiency. New windows, energy efficient furnace, etc. The program would strengthen the state's housing stock, make living spaces safer, and reduce wasted energy.
