Until you fix that you're not changing anything just moving the deck chairs around.
I agree, but I don't think term limits will be the answer to that. I obviously don't have the perfect answer or else I'd be making a lot more as a political strategist than a bureaucratic bean counter, but I think diluting the power in the House with more MCs would be a good start. They are the chamber that typically takes the more politico approach and diluting things there would help, IMO.
