As long as we attempt to fix one part of the system rather than reboot the whole thing, we will always have messy results that take time to improve. Passing new laws that create a single payer system, institute a national sales tax, reduce and flatten the income tax, remove all personal tax loopholes, provide true banking reform, cut our military spending by 25% and so on in a single year... or single decade is unrealistic. However, if those things did all happen we would be in a much better place than we are today across the board.
The last reboot of that magnitude was the New Deal, which required the Great Depression to gain muster. Hopefully we don't have to sink that low to rise up again.
