Our system of lifetime professional politicians attracts those with huge
egos and a burning desire to forego gainful employment.. The public feed
trough attracts these types like moths to a burning flame... It will only
end if we 'ever' put strict term limits on every elected position above
dog
catcher..

And with term limits the populace will vote in the same characters with
different names.

Until the authority to spread money and favors (an authority they never
really had) is revoked, expect more of the same regardless of who is in
power or how many terms they (self)served.
