Partial List of Serious Problems We Won't Solve

Partial list of serious problems where too many of us are unreasonably unwilling to accept the clearly best solutions*: 

• Climate change/energy efficiency - nuclear power
• The need for kidney transplants - a free market in organ transfers
• Higher levels of economic growth -  free movement of people across borders
• Too little affordable housing - allowing more housing to be built
• Inner-city education failure - getting government out of the provision and design of schooling via vouchers (case in point of why this is on the list)
• Health care cost - removing regulation against competition in insurance provision and required components of insurance along with removing tax advantage for employer-provided insurance (updated to add: eliminating at least FDA's efficacy requirements if not the FDA altogether and allowing unencumbered competition in health care supply (i.e., eliminating certificate of need laws, et al.))
• High unemployment and underemployment within the underclass - remove occupational licensing (also helps in health care and legal work markets among others)
• Social Security insolvency - sun setting of future obligations by means (for near claimants) and age (ending the scheme for all those below a certain age)
• Drug-related crime, violence, and social disruption - full legalization of all currently illicit narcotics
• Sex trafficking - full legalization of sex work including a social norm of tolerance
• Geopolitical conflict (aka, war) - embrace and default to pacifism
• Taxation distortions and inequalities - Replacing income-based and all other resource-creation-based taxation with consumption-based taxation such as a VAT

*These are not necessarily completely sufficient solutions, but they are at least the most complete way these problems could be greatly alleviated.
