    The last person to trust with power is someone who is dying to have it. The best person to wield power is someone who is reluctant to do so, but who will do it for a while as a civic duty. That is why term limits should make it impossible to have a whole career in politics.

        Agree. General Geo. Washington turned down the offer to be King, we just got done with breaking those chains. Meanwhile, there is a growing segment of population that feels entitled to bread and circuses. and Dems encourage that and open borders. That is a path to downfall.

        I'd invest my life savings on a lottery ticket before I would believe that Congress would pass that. Brings up an important question. What rights do we have as citizens to fix this? Neither party want to do this except a few. @SenTedCruz has introduced legislation on this.
