Don't you think that *meaningful* campaign finance reform would
be a MUCH better solution?

This way the good politicians wouldn't be forced to leave,
and the turnover rate would increase.

Public-financing of campaigns, strict limits on PACs, and
many other solutions have been proposed, but Congress
refuses to act on them.

Politicians prefer term-limits to reform so that they can still
make their bucks as a politician before they have to get out.

term limits are a cop-out, for the voters and the politicians.
