actually help citizens in a visible, meaningful way. Forget a few "tax deductions" for childcare, or minor tinkering with education loans. That's the bullshit that's been going on for decades and everyone knows it's the same as throwing a teaspoon of water on an inferno. We have to admit that there is some basic rot going on, and overhauling whole sections of the country, economy, infrastructure, etc., is the only way to proceed.

A very visible and helpful thing would be to lower the entry age to Medicare -- all those older workers companies don't want anymore? At least they can have health care without being ripped off. Hillary has to do visible, meaningful change or she will never get a second term.
