Politics are messy! I am finding it very hard to trust anyone in Washington to have consistent integrity. It really makes me angry and very irritated!
They continue to make the dollar worthless, and ultimately they are ruining the economy.
I say we clean out both houses ... except for my friends :).
:)
I could go for term limits.
The problem with the American political system oftentimes seems to be the fact that everybody is happy until something goes wrong, and then once it rights itself, they go back to being happy again. It's like the oil crisis. We should have figured out, in the seventies when OPEC put the embargo in place, that we needed to find an alternative source of fuel. But as soon as the embargo was over, we went back to business as usual, reminded of the oil crisis only because of those pesky compact spaces left over from the seventies, that no one can park in because nobody drives a compact anymore. Now, oil is a huge issue again, and we're finally deciding to do the research to find alternative fuels, twenty years too late.
There must be a promotion of character and integrity. I cannot see another way around making sure the people of the USA can police it as voters. It is out of control in the Christless, immoral self-centered narcissistic generation. We need a sweeping Revival, so until then... we need term limits.
How so?
And quite frankly... I am tired of careerer politicians who do not actually have the people of the USA as their priority... It has become congressmen thinking "ME as a god of the Congress. What I say is good for the people." It must be changed.
In political systems where there are term limits in place already, politicians still run for consecutive terms, they don't space them out as you're suggesting they would. Also, it usually takes at least a year for a newly elected official to learn how to function within whatever body he is elected to. By the time he has acclimated and can start pointing things out to 'the incumbents" he is an incumbent himself.
The best way to get rid of career politicians, is to get rid of politics as a career. Originally the congress was filled with people who actually had to work for a living (this is what the much-maligned white, male, property owners did). Their work in congress came with a small salary to make up for the time spent doing government business, but they still had to make sure that their own farm/business was still functioning. Usually by running it themselves. It's the living wage Congress has voted itself that allows for career politicians.
I am getting sick of it too.

This is a very sound plan!
GOD HAVE MERCY ON US! Oh Lord hear our prayer that Congress will act with wisdom!
