Another reason for term limits in Congress. It seems that the longer they are in office, the more corrupt they become and learn to work the system. Keep throwing money in their faces for three decades and they’ll give in eventually.
The reason there is so much money in politics is because there is so much money in government. Cut government, and you cut government corruption.
Ron Paul (yes, I disagree with his position on the war on terror, and no, I do not support him for President.) has said that you cannot put an uncovered cake under the sink and expect that it will not attract cockroaches.
Exactly. Get public service back to SERVICE, not a feeding trough!
The longer they stay in office the more removed from reality they become.
The more their view of their self importance becomes.
The more delusional they become.
Term limits should not be enacted unless something is done about this. In place of term limits, I'd suggest the repeal of the 17th Amendment which would return the election of our senators to the State Houses. As for the House, forcing them to publish on-line the source and amount of every dollar they receive in campaign funds would go a long way. Sunshine is the best disinfectant.
IMO, one term is enough for these ego maniacs. They’re power hungry and morally bankrupt. They think of themselves as royalty and entitled to everything they can suck out of the American taxpayers. They disgrace our founding fathers and our heritage. The US Congress has become a national disgrace.
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely”
The US senate is taking a page out of the paybook of the Roman Senate. The difference is they created Bush as a strawman by saying he is the Emporer.
