I didn't read the article, so I can only assume they were talking about a "foreign-policy must-do list." Washington has lost the ability to inspire greatness among residents, and I think that should be the order of the day. To remember why all of these recently-demonized undocumented workers wanted to come here in the first place. Living wages. Access to top-tier education. Respect for resources. A rebirth of the "can-do" attitude. Fiscal responsibility on all parts (an end to conspicuous consumption not only be governments, but people). Media that reports on what is happening, not "who" is happening (I'm looking at you, Britney!) You know, all that jazz. I think Time’s list is too foreign-policy heavy.
