IS IT NOT TIME TO SET TERM LIMITS?

NEARLY EVERYONE I TALK TO SAYS THAT IT IS PAST TIME TO SET TERM LIMITS ON A SENATE AND REPRESENTATIVES.

EVERY ONE OF THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MORE THAN 12 YEARS IN OFFICE HAVE MANAGED TO ACCUMULATE ENOUGH WEALTH TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES VERY WELL AND STILL HAVE THEIR GOVERNMENT PENSIONS AND BENEFITS IN PLACE.

IF AFTER 12 YEARS THEY HAVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED THE LIES WHICH THEY SOLD THEMSELVES ON TO THE AMERICAN ILLITERATE VOTERS THEN THEY SHOULD BE TERMED OUT.

IF THEY ACCOMPLISHED THE GOALS UNDER WHICH THEY WERE ELECTED IT IS STILL TIME TO LEAVE, AS THEIR POWER AND INFLUENCE HAVE BECOME A DETRIMENT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

WITH TIME THEY BECOME SO EGO INVOLVED AND HAVE SUCH GREAT HUBRIS AND ARE DRUNK WITH POWERE THAT THEY SHOULD BE TURNED OUT BY ELECTION AND SURELY BY LAW.

IF THE SENATE WERE ALLOWED NO MORE THAN 2 -6 YEAR TERMS AND THE REPRESENTATIVE NO MORE THAN 4-3 YEAR TERMS MUCH MORE COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED.

THE CURRENT SITUATION CALLS FOR EVERY TWO YEARS FOR THE REPRESENTATIVE AND AS EXAMPLE SHOULD A REPRESENTATIVE BEEN ELECTED FOR 10 TERMS WHICH IS FORTY YEARS.  THEY SPEND ONE FULL YEAR CAMPAIGNING SO NOTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED WHILE THEY ARE ATTENDING FUND RAISING DINNERS AND GIVING INTERVIEWS AND ATTACKING THEIR OPPONENTS.  THEY THEN HAVE VACATIONS OR PERIODS WHEN CONGRESS IS NOT IN SESSION DURING WHICH NOTHING GETS DONE (OTHER THAT THE CURRENT PRESIDENT MAKING NONE VETTED APPOINTMENTS) THIS IS ABOUT 9 WEEKS OUT OF THE YEAR.  THEY THEN MET WITH LOBBYISTS FOR WHATEVER SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS WILL GIVE THEM THE MOST MONEY AND WHICH IS NOT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THIS IS AROUND 2 AND 1/2 MONTHS. THEN ON AN AVERAGE THEY SPEND 6 MONTHS DEFENDING THEMSELVES FROM SCANDAL OR FIGURING OUT WAYS TO COVER THE SCANDAL UP. THEN THEY TAKE THE WEEKENDS OFF.

THUS WE HAVE A TOTAL -5 WEEKS WHERE NOTHING HAPPENS.

AT LEAST WITH A THREE YEAR TERM WE COULD OR MAY GET 6 MONTHS OF ACTUAL WORK ACCOMPLISHED.
