Herein lies the rub; Once elected, each rep and senator can make that position a career by giving the masses the programs that ensures his/her re-election and nothing is ever done to correct the long term problem that requires sacrifice. I firmly believe that a maximum of 2 terms for the House and 1 term for the Senate with an 8 year term is the only solution. This would prevent the career building that we see today at the expense of future generations. I also believe that "The rise and fall of the Roman Empire" should be a required course in all high schools because what we are doing today is what ruined the Roman Empire.
