Here are a few suggestions: 1. Get rid of public education ASAP. (Get government out of the business of educating and polluting our youth). 2. Get your congressional representatives on board to pass the "Read The Bills Act." 3. Get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Workmans Comp, and any other government program that breeds dependency and the weakening of the legs of any able bodied individual to think, work, and act, to better their situation. (and what dependent fools we are). 4. Require that all individuals over 14 years of age read and pass a test on the Constitution/Bill of Rights (this may be difficult if they were brought up through public schools). 5. Require each working individual to pay their federal, state, and local tax bill on a monthly basis by actually writing a check out to the appropriate agency. Man, would that breed some hurtin'. 6. Anyone not earning enough to pay taxes or getting an earned income tax credit should be required to write a thank you note to the taxpaying citizens via a public message board and/or newspaper (this may be difficult if they were brought up through public schools). Well this is a start.

"What is your attainable solution?" It only comes by living through the problem. We've been through this already. I can tell how it worked: People in the beginning didn’t believe it happen. Then it dawned on them that it was happening and they reacted thinking that that would last a short time. Well, took a good couple of decades, including one of trial and false start to get in the right path. There are no ways to see the solution at the onset since in the US (and by extension the whole OECD) problems are not visible and disguised. Visibility will come only by suffering them.
