Urban B:

Term limits, without more fundamental correction, will only allow more people to dip their nose in the trough.

The basic problem is Washington DC vs the people, and the vast overreach of the federal government. Unless and until the states reclaim the powers granted them by the Constitution, anything else we might do is just a band-aid. The 17th amendment threw a huge monkey wrench into the checks and balances provided by the Founders, leaving the states with no representation of their interests in Congress.

If we are not ready to support the states in pushing back as hard as it takes, whatever it takes, then I don’t see our republic surviving.
