  • Free Parenting Classes, Public Libraries, Recycling, and Subsidized School Buses should all decrease Unemployment a bit.
  • Polarization should increase Corruption, since oversight institutions controlled by extreme partisans would be less willing to scrutinize their own, and voters would be less likely to vote out corrupt officials.
