What's sad is they are extremely patient. And stay in office this long to have their agenda carried out over a generation.
Term limits. Done.
This is why we are destined to fail. It takes 2 or 3 generations it seems to get people out of office.
Term limits is a pipe dream.
Term limits and the Buffet II Rule would be awesome though;
To wit: Make a Constitutional amendment that would make all members of Congress ineligible for re-election if the deficit exceeds 3% of gross domestic product.BUFFETT: I can end the deficit in five minutes.
QUICK: How?
BUFFETT: You just pass a law that says that anytime there’s a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. Yeah. Yeah. Now you’ve got the incentives in the right place, right?
