I've declined every congressional benefit I could decline, federal health insurance, the retirement program, the 403(b) program, which I think is overly generous. I've got self-imposed term limits of six terms if I have the privilege to serve that long.
As a lobbyist, I was completely against term limits, and I know a lot of people are against term limits, and I was one of the leaders, because why? As a lobbyist, once you buy a congressional office, you don't have to re-buy that office in six years, right?
I fundamentally believe in term limits, for Congress, presidents, and board members.
You know, you look at term limits, you poll term limits, 70, 80 percent of Republicans or Democrats are for it.
I didn't want to make it a lifetime thing. I don't believe in statutory term limits, but people can limit themselves if they want to, and that's what I decided to do.
I can see both sides of term limits, and I think, in different positions, term limits make more sense than in some others.
Term limits aren't enough. We need jail.
