  > So you think special interests don't run the show right now?? Do we live in the same universe? Because the us government is almost exclusively run by special interests. And term limits will make it worse. This isn't some theoretical, research has been done on states that have implemented term limits, everything got worse. OK imagine senators have a 2 term max, 12 years. They are now 100% incentivized to plan for their next job and not actually care about being a senator. We already see this with roles that are appointed by the administration, FCC commissioners are famous for this. Go from industry -> government -> higher paid industry role, utilizing the connections one gained while in government.
