Term limits should apply to all government employees.
Especially since ethics don't seem to be part of the job requirement.
Not so fast with the broad brush!
FrogDad is a government employee. He works for DoD. After 24 years of honorable active duty in the military, they pay him to teach his area of expertise to young soldiers. Who better to do that?
There ARE valuable Civil Servants.
This is the essence of the problem. thank you for pointing it out. I read about it in my poli sci books 30 years ago and it’s only gotten more dire. It’s nice that we can elect people every odd year but the fact is they only go as far as the permanently placed bureaucrats allow them. Reagan preached this because he knew it stopped him from doing the real work that needed to be done, the dismantling of about 3 cabinet level departments. Bureaucrats are the real power.
Not a bad idea.
