I disagree.
Our media market was deregulated during Clintons second term, and so was finance. We are dealing with the fallout from that stupid shit ever since.
Booting the current parasites for a whole new gang of know-nothing parasites doesn't repair anything in our system. I have seen it first hand with my city council, with the county supervisors and with the legislature - term limits just ramps up the power of elite political mafias.
To run for office you take a high powered person with connection and a mind for public service and you grind them to fucking dust at the wheel of public life. Some emerge complete wrecks - and with term limits you ensure it! So, rather than throw away the most productive years of their elite lives, these folks become super super politically correct, they get in line, and have little knife fights amongst themselves for the next rotating spot in some office or another. They don't give a fuck what the power given to them are, they will be gone soon anyway.
It turns the local political elite into colonial governors of their own people. It is a fucked up situation and only accelerates the status quo.
NOT ALLOWED
An enlightened ruler in the most efficient form of good governance. But as history has shown, the opportunities for abuses of power always make that theory a non-starter.
12 years for a Senator is plenty.
