Innovation

America must encourage innovation in business and in government.  The best ideas sometimes come from unlikely sources, and the government must foster ways to take risks and test ideas in the private and public sectors.  This means encouraging a break from the status quo.  Innovators defy normal, and come up with trailblazing new ideas.  Small businesses are great incubators of innovation, and strengthening them will also strengthen innovation.  Reform to the patent system to eliminate frivolous patents easily and make it easier to submit legitimate ones could also go a long way towards encouraging innovation.
