Power corrupts is an old saying. Enrique Santos [A Cuban American Comedian and Disc Jockey Host] once said: "Politicians are like diapers, you have to change them constantly or else you have a big stink".
In the USA, there has been NO Term Limits on Senators and Congressmen. Even Henry Hyde and Ms. Chenowith of Idaho once said "You Need Experience" before they used their powers to commit adultery.
The USA is at a crossroads where Congressmen who are out of touch with the reality around them and probably are out of touch with themselves are running the country including the war machine.
The time has come to introduce mandatory term limits on ALL POLITICIANS in the Senate, Congress, House of Representatives, and Supreme Court. It is also time to place some of these institutions in private hands and have them function like any corporation and playing by the rules that they themselves have passed.
Only time will tell if that could happen or not. Will Rogers once said that "Every time Congress passes a Law, it's a Joke and Every time Congress Makes a Law, it's a Joke".
