Since we have more oil and gas than anyone else on the planet, we should sell as much as possible before free energy devices become a thing. Those man-made UFOs aren't using gas or diesel. Bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and make the middle class boom. $150k in CA and NY doesn't go very far. Most families need both parents working and bringing in $300k+ to afford a modest home. Eliminate income and real estate taxes so people can keep something of what they earn. The more you make means the more you keep, not having to always think of the tax man wanting his cut.

United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875)
There is in our political system a government of each of the several States, and a Government of the United States. Each is distinct from the others, and has citizens of its own who owe it allegiance, and whose rights, within its jurisdiction, it must protect. The same person may be at the same time a citizen of the United States and a citizen of a State, but his rights of citizenship under one of those governments will be different from those he has under the other.
Simply educate people that they have citizenship from their state of birth, but not federal citizenship. Federal citizenship is for freed slaves, naturalized foreigners, and Americans born in foreign nations (didn't receive state citizenship at birth).
Why do American passports say "United States of America" on the cover and list it as the nationality inside, but the tax laws apply to citizens of the United States?
Law is precise. UNITED STATES does not equal UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
