Topic	Would you rather term limits or an age limit for Congress?
UnsteadyOwl 10/29/23 12:10:09 PM #17:	Term limits are a bad idea because it gives people in government even more incentive than they have now to govern in a way that favors big business and lobbyists, because they're probably going to need a job in the private sector once they hit their term limit and they don't want to burn bridges. An age limit wouldn't be bad if it's set high enough that people who reach it will be at a comfortable retirement age. --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
