Looking at US politics after WW2 (especially the gun control debacle in recent years), it's clear that a very big problem for Americans is the lack of faith in government. And who can blame them? The US government has burned a lot of the trust that enabled the New Deal and Great Society to be possible, courtesy of Vietnam and Watergate. So how should the US government go about earning back that trust?
I'd say cleaning out a lot of corruption that pervades Congress would be a good start. Restrictions on lobbying (so former politicians and bureaucrats don't get a golden parachute into corporate structures) as well as campaign finance/electoral reform (publicly financed campaigns in particular) would give the public the belief that politicians are no longer being bought and sold for private interests.
