Supermajorities

In Gary Benoit’s 11/22/2010 Last Word article “With the Ballot, Who Needs Term Limits?” he says that term limits will not only not work to get our country on track, but they may be counterproductive.

We have had it so good for so long — with all of our toys to occupy our free time — that we have let our governments govern themselves. A result is that the country is broke and record numbers of people are losing their homes, cars, and toys; this leads to anger and the call to “throw the bums out.”
