I believe if you limited every Congressman to 3 terms and every Senator to 1 term...you’d suddenly find “pay-back” wasn’t in their top ten priorities. I also think letting a Congressman or Senator push out a research project to give some professor $650k to find out why skunks smell...is a bit beyond the capability of the politician. It ought to be left to government departments that already exist and can readily explain the logic for the grant...which none of the Senators or Congress can.
“I believe if you limited every Congressman to 3 terms and every Senator to 1 term...”
I propose that all politicians be limited to two terms; one in office and one in prison.
