I could think of a couple more but this is a nice start. From the Instapundit - Glenn Harlan Reynolds - writing at USA Today:
6 bills the GOP should pass
So Republicans have taken back the Senate and in January will control both houses of Congress. That brings them to the question posed by a famous political book: You won — Now what?
The problem for Republicans is that because they do not have a veto-proof majority, they can pass bills but can't get them past President Obama. It doesn't mean that they're doomed to futility. They can pass three kinds of bills: those Obama will want to sign; those he won't want to sign but will have to; and those he'll veto, but where a veto is unpopular. With that in mind, I have six suggestions for the new GOP-controlled Congress:
1 End the federally imposed 21-year-old drinking age. The limit was dreamed up in the 1980s as a bit of political posturing by then-secretary of Transportation Elizabeth Dole. It has been a disaster. College drinking hasn't been reduced; it has just moved out of bars and into dorm rooms, fraternities/sororities and house parties. The result has been a boom in alcohol problems on campus. While drunken driving has declined, it was declining before the age was raised and has declined just as fast in Canada, where the drinking age is 18 or 19 depending on the province.
Glen then goes on with five more excellent choices. I would add the Keystone pipeline and re-structuring the Internal Revenue Service. Instituting a flat tax with zero loopholes would level the playing field for everyone and would prevent crony capitalists like General Electric from getting away with paying no Federal Taxes.
