Subject: Re: From Jeff Tiedrich
It was well-put. And it's why I favor term limits, so we don't get entrenched people. Granted, some districts would vote for a badger if it had the requisite letter after its name (either "D" or "R").
I'm thinking 2 terms for senators (and they have to serve both terms to qualify for the pension...right now it's less than one term), and maybe 5 terms for the House (again, serve all terms for the pension). I could be convinced at either 4 or 6 for the House. That way you don't have a Congress made up entirely of people who don't understand how things work, but you don't have someone who gets too comfortable, either.
