Churchill was a leader. Today's elected politicians are not. I'm sure there are exceptions, but the vast majority are in it for personal gain. I'm not opposed to personal gain, but when it is put before responsible stewardship, we lose. I am in favor of term limits and limits on Congresspeople becoming paid lobbyists for those reasons.
Term limits have a lot going for them. States and cities have been in the lead on this.
On the national level, the catch-22 is that we would need the very people who benefit from the "revolving door" and a lack of term limits to vote on these matters.

Happy Hanukah to you and your family, Josh.
