I still say “term-limits” is a bad idea. Some few men in Cingoress are good men. Jeff Flake of AZ has never asked for an earmark. Eric Cantor keeps doing a very fine job as minority whip. All the Pubs in Congress voted against the Stimulus Bill. All. That’s the whip’s doing. The first bailout bill also failed, because too few Pubs crossed over. Again Cantor. Alternate proposals? Cantor. He is quickly becoming my hero in Congress. Wow, I just said “hero in Congress”. Weird.
The problem is not the system. It is our uneducated voters. Our school system is failing. We’ve been falling in the standings among industrialized nations until we’re almost at the bottom. The media is also complicit in the failure. That may change when their wealth is wiped out in the Stock Market. when their retirement funds and their kids’ college funds dry up, then they’ll start singing a different tune. It may not last, but it may be good for one or two elections.
