I'm all for term limits in the congress. Public service never was meant to be a full time gig. You get elected. You serve your district for one or two terms and then you go back home and go back to working a real job.
The problem is the US has the big war machine to feed. It creates war to justify it. Time to change that. Put the people to work building the infrastructure and making the world better. Heck the petro-dollar is on it's way out. Once that is gone there is no money to finance the war machine anymore. What's going on in the Ukraine is the banking/oil/war machine (McCain's type of ilk) out to try and justify itself. I say good riddins. It's time to be a consumer product based economy again. 63% of our income tax money feeds the war machine. I mean most the world lives in poverty. Give them education and work opportunities and more people have the money to buy products and services and that demand creates more jobs. You create jobs bringing the standard of living up.
As far as Putin goes Russia is better now than it's ever been. I've been there three times. Once during the soviet times. Once during the 90's when the country was in shambles and once during the Putin reign. The worst was the Yelstin years for a visitor. The place was dangerous. Now St. Petersberg and Moscow are modern cities that can pretty much compare to anywhere in the world. Putin paid off the debt and is putting money into infrastructure. He's doing some things right. If anything he's creating a foundation that can take Russia to better places later but you are right, leadership has to change.
