Government Is Broken. These Guys Can Fix It.

Ease import-export documentation

The nation’s import-export laws have become red-tape nightmares. One tiny example I’m familiar with: A well-meaning law to save rare woods basically makes it illegal to travel with an old guitar. Any wooden instrument must have documentation of the genus and weight of every type of component wood—impossible given that antique fretted instruments are constructed from several types (my oldest dates to 1868 —good luck finding documentation on that). A solution: make antiques exempt. Other import-export quirks surely have similar fixes.
