Nothing beneficial to anyone else but their own pockets will get done until these old dinosaurs are out of office and no-longer pilfering money into their own pockets.

Hopefully, their replacements will learn from the mistakes of their predecessors...but I doubt it.

If anything, we just need to make lobbying illegal.

That happened in my current city. All the council members died. And now things are changing. We got a couple restaurants, we're getting some more, fixing up the city, etc.

Edit: Some did retire. And a few were pretty much forced to retire. Super old.

We do, but does anything ever happen? No, because this is what America wants.

Will literally be replaced by more of the same or, in some cases, worse. Expect government shutdowns to become a more regular occurrence.

Just described an early teen's opinion, tbh. And unless you're going into office yourself and Ted Cruz yourself so hard that nobody likes you enough to engage in the kind of horsetrading that goes on in DC, even you'd wind up the same eventually. While term limits could solve issues involving entrenched politicians, I'm not sure that we'd really see much improvement because it takes time for somebody to become effective in the first place.

Summary: If you want to do anything or be successful in Washington DC, you must sell-out. Even if you don't, you'll become one of them anyway.

Literally.

Missed that you'd responded to this but, to a large extent, yes to the former. I believe you misread my Ted Cruz comment since it was referring to the fact that you'd end up the same as Cruz, not the same as a sell-out. In addition to being an obstructionist, Cruz is a fairly repugnant person. Out of everybody in the primaries for both parties, he was one of the five people I least wanted to see win (him, Bernie, fucking Chris Christie, Carly, and O'Malley)

Yep. The next generation of old dinosaurs will replace them the moment they die.
