I predict that instituting Congressional term limits, along with doing away with the full salary for life policy; would cause the best and brightest to seek office for the honor of truly serving their constituents, rather than having people who direct their entire occupational focus toward being a career politician. There should be no such thing as a "career politician".
To the bold, I agree.
And I do think term limits would help. No one approach would cure all the corruption, but term limits, campaign finance reform and instituting some kind of public service component would — in my opinion — go a long way to fixing the problem.
