(Gresham's law appears to apply to politicians).<br /><br />But term limits AND no pension? Are you quite mad?!?! You're going to tell every politician that he has X years and no more to fund his retirement via hook or crook? What utopia do you live in that this would not result in widespread and massive corruption?<br /><br />I believe there are honest and honorable politicians; but crooks go into politics for the same reason they rob banks - that's where the money is. The solution proposed is the rough equivalent to posting no-carry at the door to the bank.Ian Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704336044732061128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-41805496660603281282010-07-28T15:07:13.644-04:002010-07-28T15:07:13.644-04:00Term limits with no pension, AND castration to lim...Term limits with no pension, AND castration to limit offspring and induce membership in the DC Acapella Quartet.NotClauswitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358707844087117280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-65271229183309353452010-07-28T03:13:26.174-04:002010-07-28T03:13:26.174-04:00I'm really looking forward to voting against h...I'm really looking forward to voting against him this year. <br /><br />His son is doing his level best to separate himself from his dad as much as possible.
