I would agree with you if you limited the term limits to politicians and civil servants.The military already has its own form-discharge at 19 years so veterans dont collect pensions.
Except for the military,I believe what would really work is the same "at will" job security we enjoy in Florida.(I cant speak for other States)You can be "terminated" for no particular reason and you can resign for the same.Is that how your job works?
I dont believe anyone should get a free ride. If privately employed people dont perform the job they were hired to accomplish, then they should be fired.
If federal,state,or local government employed people dont perform the job they were hired to accomplish, then they should be fired.
If government employed people are not allowed to do the job they were hired to accomplish,the political appointees and/or politicians who obstruct them should be fired.Seems to always point back to politicians as the problem.We get what we vote for.
Don't know how to post articles (yet) but someone needs to go to today's Fresno Bee home page (newspaper in California) and post the article entitled "Tax Refund Scheme Based In Valley" and note that the persons who defrauded the IRS to the tune of an estimated $1.5 million are, YES, you guessed it--all Mexicans. Gee, I wonder if they're here legally.... Thanks to anyone who can post this article for me.
--most definetly I am in the private sector and could get sacked. heh. And there's no reason for these high level g-whatever civil servants to just get shuffled around when they don't perform, they need sacking if appropriate.
