We have to figure out what's best and roll with it. We know that the current mess isn't working, and honestly, I think more would get done if people weren't so worried about re-elections all the time.
This is why I am personally for publicly funded congressional elections. So much of the time of a member of Congress is spent fundraising and trying to please donors, that this move, alone, could result in a more effective legislature. I have a lot of reforms I would put in place for our legislative system, but term limits is not one I support.
