Because if our elected reps are always 'new' by the time they figure out the horrors of the deep state and Washington's entrenched bureaucrats, they'll be back home out of a job and out of power to fight back.
Then the process of 'learning the ropes' starts over for the newly elecged reps and the entrenched old power 'elites' - - who will dig in deeper. That would make things worse - not better.
So you agree :)
Yes, I also agree with you - not saying 8 years max. I’d start to consider 12-16 years though.
Unless there’s enough turnover, including in non-elected positions, we’ll continue to have this problem.
