Term Limits
Congressional term limits are still seen by some non-thinking citizens as a cure for bad government. The real problem is the voter and not Congress or government.
An educated and informed electorate would properly clean up the Washington mess. Term limits will produce new faces in Congress, but will not automatically bring in better representatives who will keep government limited and protect us from the tyranny of unlimited government.
No magic will descend upon the heads of voters when terms are limited. Term limits are a fraud and definitely no substitute for responsible voting by citizens who should seek to put honorable people in office.
