Letters to the Editor
Term-limit Troubles
In a letter to the editor in the August 7, 2017 issue entitled “Talking Term Limits,” William Baker advocated term limits as the solution to America’s problems.
I find it unthinkable that term limits would improve our state of affairs. I’ve lived in states with term limits: When politicians are term-limited out, they simply seek another office. Term limits won’t solve the problem of unprincipled career-politicians. An interesting fact is that California has term limits. Unfortunately, it hasn’t helped them much. An uninformed electorate would continue electing power-seeking politicians until they were enslaved by them.
And that’s exactly the problem: an uninformed electorate.
