The link "Override" captures the new energy and resources we have long been missing in our tax dollar funded government: show me the money and show me what it actually bought.

A major failing of "term limits" is the lack of accountability, when elected representatives by design have no institutional memory, wisdom or learned common sense during their now intentionally truncated terms.

Eg:. ..... It didn't happen on my term, so I don't know anything about this. I won't be accountable for my vote today, because I will be long gone by the time it goes into effect. My major concerns are only my own re-election. Someone else will need to figure out how to pay for this down the road. Not my road; not my term. ........... State Street Committee, anyone?

AI now tracking decision and funding accountability may well be a cure for the huge built-in term limits continuity and accountability failings. The good gets tossed out with the bad with arbitrary "term limits". It creates lazy and unaccountable voters too.

Always an interesting read.

If even half of the listed wasted money was part of private enterprise business they would not even be able to open the doors let alone operate for one day.

Long over due efficiency and money trail examination.
