Politics is the Problem

We need to re-evaluate a system that allows and promotes professional politicians that become permanent fixtures. Instead of serving the people that elected them their primary thought is do what is necessary to get elected. That is the simple explanation of the dysfunction and gridlock we have witnessed the last few months. Mr Obama and the Congress are primarilly focused on how to get re-elected in 2012. They want status quo and government to continue to grow in sharp contrast to what the people want, less government and positive change. The politicians are going to destroy this country as we run up huge debts that are unsustainable. The system should be changed to limit terms for Senators and representatives and perhaps the President should be limited to one term. This would turn these elected officials into civil servants with sole motive to carry out the will of the people.
