Why does anybody think that term limits fixes a problem?
Less time to do evil. Keeps them from having as much time to organize and get the needed contacts in their organization. The next group of new Reps/Senators don't have the time or experience to do as much evil before they're out, too. May not fix the problem, but reduces it.
Yep more time to figure out who to rub elbows with and who not to rub elbows with .
Disagree.
Who are Trumps enemies?
Pelosi? Schumer? Schiff?
Yes, they are the faces. But, they can be held accountable.
At least in theory.
H ow about,
Mueller, Struzk, Comey....
You never saw them campaign.
No working man voted for them. Who do they really answer to?
They are the nasty, rotten muck under the surface of the swamp.
They run DC.
Ever hear about how politicians might be good, untill they get to DC?
What happens? The bureaucracy happens.
A newly minted legislator hits town.
Naive as hell.
So, he hires staff from his predecessor, or party recommended staff.
Old timers, they run the show.
Tell him what THEY want, how THEY want. Train him!
You really want to empower that.
Feed them new Reps every 4 years, a new Senator every 6-12.
They would eat it up.
No, the answer isnt so easy.
Lobby reforms.
Finance reforms.
Smart, educated Go toes.
Some-dam-how,
an honest, fair press. (Look at covid. Everyone is lying to us.)
