El Guapo Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 7 hours ago, Titans279 said: Term limits could backfire. If you know your days are numbered you need to do something after you're termlimited out which will likely mean working in private industry. Will provide even more incentive to just do what special interests want As opposed to staying in congress where bribery is legal and you become a multimillionaire on a modest salary?

MadMax Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 I'll add to term limits. I say we eliminate "sessions". Make the fuckers work 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year. They go into the chamber and discuss and then vote on shit. Why do they get to have "sessions" a few times a year and otherwise screw around when I have to work all damn year? Also, they need the same health coverage as the average American. That'll fix that problem. IsntLifeFunny, and ChesterCopperpot1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans279 Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 My preferred change would be to remove districts and move to proportional representation for legislatures. I think that’s better overall. No more gerrymandering and you wouldn’t even be throwing away your vote if you vote third party because if they pass a threshold they’ll have a seat at the table. titanruss, and pat 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they brought up some good points. Odds are with term limits these people get scooped up by lobbyists. Then the lobbyists have considerable more experience than the legislature. I don't see that as a good thing. pat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
