George Will: A bipartisan abdication

As a term limits advocate I appreciated the following article. With the well deserved extremely low approval ratings given to Congress it is appropriate to point out one of their failings. There is a Netflix series that just completed its first season. It is called "House of Cards" and there are thirteen one hour episodes.The language is very rough, as it is in real political life, but the story line is unfortunately too close to reality.The NY Times did a story about the series here

Our founders did not envision career politicians who would enjoy well paid careers with many benefits including a handsome pension.  If we had a well informed electorate we would not need term limits.Under the present system the incumbents have an enormous advantage.

PBS NewsHour Virginia Attorney General Criticizes Government Overreach

The following link will take you to an excellent informative interview with Ken Cuccinelli, Attorney General of Virginia. He is a strong and well spoken advocate for a more limited federal government. Among many excellent observations he believes the founders made a mistake by not including term limits in the Constitution. I agree wholeheartedly!

The Gang of Six Disaster: The Worst Plan So Far - By James C. Capretta - The Corner - National Review Online

The Republicans go from bad to worse. The following article contains a very good suggestion for John Boehner and the House republicans.

What conservatives should be doing is seizing the initiative in the House. They should move immediately to pass a small debt-limit increase, on the order of $500 billion, coupled with a reasonable set of spending cuts, including caps on discretionary spending. They should then send that to the Senate as the starting point for discussions. Doing this now would increase Speaker Boehner’s leverage immensely, as he would become the only person in the room who had shown by his actions that he doesn’t want a default. Moreover, at this late stage, there’s a very real chance it would become the vehicle for getting past August 2.
