I'm not sure if it was intended, but the letters today demonstrate the problem with career politicians.  They promise to do things not because they want to do those things, but because they want to be re-elected.  Once November passes, it's business as usual with no action toward the promises made.  Term limits would be a step in the right direction by why would someone at the public trough vote for an idea that would curtail their livelihoods?  They wouldn't.  So it's up to the voters every chance  we get to vote the incumbents out.
