  1. Term limits would put Washington even MORE in the hip pockets of career technocrats and industry lobbyists. Government's too complicated, now, for anybody to oversee everything. So I think term limits might not be the panacea people think. If federal government were vastly down-sized and simplified to just perform the BASIC functions defined in the U.S. Constitution, term limits would be fine, but probably unnecessary. We might WANT to send the same well-to-do schmuck to Washington, because he's the one guy in the district with the leisure time and resources to serve in the position and the position wouldn't be this great plumb that such positions are, NOW, because there wouldn't be much he could or would want to do. Just rubber-stamp the last year's budget, with maybe one or two small changes. But with the lives and livelihoods of millions hinging on legislation/regulations pertaining to every occupation in the country, these guys are made FAR too important and FAR too much the target of corrupters, and FAR more likely to be corrupt, themselves, in the first place, because of all the power and wealth associated to such far too important positions.
