^ one term limit for all politicians. The minute they start worrying about getting re-elected they start opening their wallets to special interests. Doesn't matter if you're a Republican or Democrat, politicians do not ge better with age. Two term limits are useless. They need to understand that they only get one shot. And there needs to be 5 year waiting period before a politician can work as a lobbyist after leaving office.

Also, if your state takes out more in federal spending than it pays in on federal income taxes (predominantly and ironically the most far right states), then all that money should be returned to the states that are getting short-changed (the most left wing). For states with major military installations those funds should be given directly to the military officials running those bases and should not make their way into the state budget through any other means. If roads or any other infrastructure in or near a base need to be improved, the military facility should fix those and not the state govt. The states should be forced to balance their books on their own state's share of federal and state income taxes. Some of these states are receiving $2 in federal spending for every $1 of federal taxes paid. That needs to stop.
