We still need a two term limit on all politicians, then they go and get a job.

So, we could use term limits to ensure that good people, leaders who are responsible, could not stay long? Term limits sound like a convenient alternative to an educated/informed/involved electorate. It's the garage door opener method of disciplining gubmint. How would term limits improve the quality of our public representatives? How might it reduce the quality?
Corruption and graft? First of all, gubmint corruption and graft can be fixed if you want. You own it, and you control it, and if graft and corruption are found and we don't like it, out they go. Not so for commercial organizations. Graft and corruption are their normal, usual modus operandi.
Joe. Joe, buddy. Just between you and me. You don't really think that putting private organizations in charge of government utility commerce will reduce corruption, do you? Does anybody?
