They have to address congressional pensions at the same time!

Current deal is ridiculous.

Simple, just eliminate the pensions and term limits will work out just fine. Also end the war chest advantage. When there is no monetary incentive for serving, the desire to stay will evaporate. I tend to think that new media will be the killing fields for career politicians. As the old media big campaign spending model is eviscerated as Trump has begun, and by only accepting $1.00 a year salary to serve, people will start to view things a lot differently.

Gone will be the twisted negative campaign adds that won’t fit into 140 characters and an instant response to anything like it will kill it before it gets out of the gate.
