Fedi is social media. Not an official repository of knowledge whereupon I have to provide only the most accurate of statements. Presuming I’m stupid because you don’t like a comment is not justified. If it was, then I could insult you for claiming that expanding the money supply doesn’t cause inflation. Or claiming the government has no role over the money supply. What do you think happens when the US lowers reserve limits for banks? That is rhetorical. Not an invitation for further discussion.

I don’t support corporate dollars at all.

It really didn’t cost all that much to bribe Senator Collins so our government is affordable at all levels for those with cash.

Yes the rich should be taxed but have seen how little cash it takes to bribe someone in congress? Unless the government is pushing taxes to 100% or more, taxes aren’t going to solve bribes.

I understand that quite well. No reason to call me stupid asshole.

Switching to a bad system because we need to do something isn’t helpful. The underlying point of my comment is that correcting sections is hard and isn’t going to be solved with a simple rule like a term limit.

U.S. bonds already pay more interest than Greek bonds. The dollar devalues every single day from the printing of more money.

The US can always pay its bills because it can just print more money.

It absolutely does make a difference. The good way to have term limits is to not vote for someone when they get captured by lobbyists.

Congress gets bought for cheap. Making the house bigger so each rep covers fewer people is probably good but I doubt it makes bribery unaffordable.

Term limits aren’t a good idea. We end up with less knowledgeable congress people which gives lobbyists that will actually write the bills that get voted on even more power.
