A case for term limits in D.C.

The United States after World War II made a marvelous recovery and was in an uphill climb for many years. At the top of that hill all the people in the country were enjoying the American dream!

The people were so busy enjoying that dream they never noticed as the years slipped by that everything around them was also slipping downward from that wonderful hill. Then one morning there it was — their dream replaced with a slowing economy and no one doing anything about it.

Then people were saying there should be some changes. One big change should be to do away with all the greed that's taken over the country. Then all the people who sit in Washington, D.C., would only be able to sit there for eight years just like the presidents. People who do the same things year after year have a tendency to get into a rut and forget what they are really sitting there for. There should be some serious changes made, for the country is still in a downward mode. Is the change that already has been made in 2011 what will start the country in an upward mode that it surely needs?
