Exactly.

Right. Look at the congressional class of '94. They came roaring in ready
to change the world. After a few years, some quit in disgust and the rest
were chastized by the "Old Dogs" who taught them how to get along. If we
had a whole new class of '94 every 8-12 years, we'd come closer to getting
an honest government - i. e. term limits. Of course, congress is never
going to propose an amendment to put themselves out on the street, but the
states can bypass congress and call a constitutional convention. Since a
lot of states have tried, unsuccessfully, I don't understand why this has
not been done.


I have one problem with term limits. It gives added power to several groups
that have shown very little ability to deal with power. Government
employees.
