I agree with you on politics being all about money and power but I’m not convinced on term limits

I would hate to see Paul Ryan not being able to run and lead the House Budget Committee, or a Marco Rubio not in the Senate holding those jerks feet to the fire.

What we really need is more secretaries of state who will insure honest elections and state legislatures that will reverse the gerrymandering that’s gone on so long. We also need more conservative parents running for school boards to counter the liberal unions and demand an end to children’s brainwashing.

There are other Paul Ryans & Marco Rubios out there. You might be one! Anyway Both Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio would benefit from a few years back in society experiencing the consequences of that Congressional experience. After sitting out a period they can then go back an adjust it!

12 years in the House (6 terms)
12 years in the Senate (2 terms)
Sit out 3 terms (6 years) in the House and 1 term (6 years) to regain eligibility those respective branches of Congress.

Even George McGovern admitted he learned a lot from his “forced’ experience in private industry. He said if he had to do his political career over again he would not have been so enthusiastic about some of the regulatory programs he backed.

[Alas Babylon!]

I understand.

But for every Rubio or Ryan we retain, we wind up getting stuck with Kennedy’s, Shumers, Fiensteins, Murrays, Pelosi’s, Franks, Murtha’s, and a host of others, who stick around until they die or some other miracle.

Still, when term limits are imposed the Congressional staffers grow in stature, and we become enslaved to them through their less experienced Congressmen.

I don’t know the answer really. I do know the current system has been corrupted beyond seeming repair, however.

Where’s Hillary’s reset button?
