The US should stop being saved from banking crises.

Let natural consequences happen. Then adjust based on what is learned from the outcomes-- no pain, no gain.

The society & economy should recognize the pain resulting from irresponsible action,

if only do drive the society & economy to punish those who were so greedily irresponsible.

Stop sheltering the population.

And especially stop sheltering the bankers.

Experiencing consequences is an important part of improvement-- without consequences there is no real impetus to change.

Hm. That's pretty optimistic. It's like folks on the space station, "Let the oxygen filters fail! It'll teach Gary to clean them like he was supposed to."
