Just stumbled onto this gem from 2016, as Warren Buffet offers an idea for ending the federal deficit and fixing Congress in less than five minutes:
I can end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that any time there’s a deficit of more than 3 percent of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.
There ya go. That would FORCE these people to focus, think and work together. They'd have to JUSTIFY their spending and taxing initiatives.
I'd still rather see term limits, but this would be a good second choice.
