Hey Einstein how passes the term limits laws? Even if Congress passes it all it takes is ONE guy to fight it in court. The only way it would get passed if it's passed as Constitutional Amendment.
Also it doesn't need change the PEOPLE vote for these guys so it's the PEOPLE that are the problem. Everyone talks about about how Congress is bad but 95% of incumbents win re-election. I see a HUGE disconnect there. Because people don't think that "Congress is bad" they think "Congress is bad EXCEPT for MY guy". At the end of the day YOU have control over YOUR representative so if you want change you need to vote YOUR guy out. If everyone did that the problem would be solved. But everyone thinks it's the OTHER guy this is the problem.
Also pork is bad as long as it goes to someone else. Show me a guy that cuts a pork project for his district and I'll show you a guy not getting re-elected. Even though most of the people in his district are supposedly anti-pork and believes the budget needs to be trim and the deficit reduced. Once again it's disconnect with the PEOPLE.
The problems in DC are not a result of a problem with politicians it's problem with VOTERS. Until the PEOPLE realize that THEY are why things in DC are fucked up and realize they are fucking ignorant dolts then things aren't going to change.
