What issues are not getting handle because society/government has no stomach to take it on?

What do you believe is an issue government or society should be tackling but don’t have the stomach to do it? There are many areas that always get talked to death about, drugs, social security, crime, drunk driving, etc, but no one seems to have the moxie to handle or take on in a logical way in which success will be an outcome. And do you believe no one has the moxie to do it because of class, political, or religious lines?
