There should be t...Term limits work for Presidents. There should be term limits on ALL government employees except military/coast guard. This would end the huge pension problems, people retiring with full pay and benefits after 10 year tenures, etc. Having previously worked at a municipal government level in the area, I am a witness to the croney corruption in government. I was personally handed a government credit card and told to buy any conceivable usable equipment usable for my department until the card was maxed out. The reason: The fiscal year was about to end any any money NOT used in the budget was at risk of being cut!!! When I questioned the issue, I was promptly and conveniently shuffled out my job. This fact was conveniently kept below the elected level for plausible deniability. So now when governments at local, county, all the way to national level say they need money to keep "needed" jobs, I have NO heart, NO pity for those involved at all. <br />Fact: 1/3 of all residents of Palm Beach county have left since 2008. That means we need 1/3 less services are needed to begin with. You can see it in the traffic every day when you drive. To truly solve the government problem here, we must look at the entire government problem, not just elected officials simply because most of what happens in government never reaches their desks by design.Andrew33https://www.blogger.com/profile/12727106195950368976noreply@blogger.com
