TERM LIMITS.!?

TERM LIMITS.!?

Earlier this month, a Roll Call study of congressional financial disclosures revealed that the net worth of members of Congress had grown by 25 percent since 2008, during a period in which the average American household has lost as much as 20 percent of its net worth.

Okay simple mathematics here – over the approximately last three years the net worth of our (so-called?) representatives GREW and by twenty-five percent while the net worth average of the people they “represent” LOST as much as twenty percent!?!!

Consider this please from Lawrence Lessig, I believe, “I was troubled,” he says, “by the fact that the political elite gets to play by a different set of rules than the rest of us. In the process of researching this (his) book, I came to the conclusion that political party and political philosophy matter a lot less than we think. Washington is a company town, and politics is a business. People wonder why we don’t get more change in Washington, and the reason is that the permanent political class is very comfortable. Business is good.”

The thought here, and after much consideration is this – As many have stated, should Congress be term limited? Interesting how Congress after the four terms of Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency, term limited the president, so now what about themselves..?

What do you think?
