Solving Whose Problem?

Some of you proposed the solution of term limits whereas others said it would be too hard to impliment. I agree that it will be hard but I cannot think of another simple solution that will save our country. If we have term limits and the politician knows that his job is not a life-time appointment but a short-term public service, he or she will hopefully vote for the country's good and not for what is best for their re-election. I believe that if you couple term limits with a balanced budget requirement, that the country can be righted. Some of you say that we already have term limits- elections, but lets be honest- most voters vote almost by rote, whether it is by party or for that guy that has been in office for decades.
