If you cap someone's career at 4 years, they might have more incentive to take as much lobby money as possible while they can.

- xvector 7y agoThis doesn’t change if you cap the person’s career at 40 years. Greedy people are going to be greedy.
- Godel_unicode 7y agoNot necessarily, if you can serve for 40 years there's more risk in losing your sweet gig if you get found out.
- xvector 7y agoIs there? Famous congresspeople are "found out" every single day and nothing happens. The only real change in Congress that we are seeing is from people like AOC - determined and idealistic young people who see straight through the bullshit and aren't letting it get to them. Maybe rather than an age limit we need to actually test Congresspeople on what they are legislating.
