You beat me to it.
Yup! I'd say.....about 6 terms in the House or 2 terms in the Senate....and then go back home and work for Burger King....or something. No retirement benefits either.
Twelve years max, (or sooner) ought to be enough time to really identify the crooks and turn "Em" out. We have effectively established an aristocracy in this country by allowing these morons to keep running for reelection....forever!
It may take a Constitutional Amendment though. Remember the idiot Republicans who had their chance in the House in 1994.....but thought "THEY" were too indispensable. We'll not ever again get a chance to do this by House or Senate vote.
Thanks but no thanks. The last thing we need is for congress to turn out like California where there are term limits.
Inexperienced senators just increase the power of lobbyists to manipulate them and they are too weak to be able to make a stand.
We just have to keep our congressman honest through our primaries.
