I seriously doubt Rush Limbaugh authored this. The numbers are obviously incorrect; especially the pension information. And they DO pay into social security and receive SS benefits when they reach retirement age.
I like the comment that 90% give the other 10% a bad name! Probably more like 98% give the other 2% a bad name, however.

And who is going to make changes? The ones with their nose in the feed trough are the ones making these decisions. We can make term limits if we would pay attention and vote.

I'm a Republican because the Democrat party has come off its rails . It's mostly a radically Left party now . But Republicans have failed to stop them . So now both parties stink . Guess I'll go Independent .
But back the point of this article . It's the entitlement mindset that Limbaugh is commenting on . Pushed by the Left but starting to hit the mainstream . The country has not really regained its footing since 911 . And I blame Liberals for most of it , starting with the constant attacks against GW Bush . He's been vindicated in recent months . WMD's were found in Iraq and there was a program in place to obtain weapons grade nuclear material . Will he get an apology from this media ? Not a chance . They're in the business right now of trying to get one of their own in the White House .
Entitlements ? If this vicious " Liberal Progressive " woman wins next month , you ain't seen nothing yet .

We need term limits, and congress should have to live by the laws they pass! Notice they exempted themselves from obamacare.

Agree with your analysis

I think we should follow the constitution and stay out of oil wars , and we sure don't need to guard poppy fields for the export of drugs to be shipped around the world, someone made a lot of dough didn't they. I agree with Trump many nations we protect should step up and help pay for security. We are nation building , very un constitutional . I care for neither party very much. But when war is more about the military industrial complex , we are going to reap what we have sown. Syria is about a regime change , and the US is supporting ISIS, Al qaeda the Taliban, the name just changes, to keep people confused. There are to many wars that don't have a darn thing to do with freedom, which are sold by the controlled media, there is no free press any more, I am tired of BS excuses why we did not go in to Saudi Arabia ,if you trust the media 17 hy jackers was from there. For you short attention folk How long did the military deny agent orange , I do know that deplete uranium was used in Iraq . There is going to be an economic crash, unlike any before if these proxy wars continue.

No kidding! Kinda like saying we'd all be less fat if we didn't eat food!

Architect, I'm riding on the same bus as you.

We will continue to be fcuked here until we get term limits, which will probably be never. I used to lean stongly GOP only because I'm an uber conservative when it comes to matters of money and the economy, but that has been drastically changing over the past few decades as ALL politicians of all parties continue to spend what we don't have.

Those of you not in Illinois, and Chiraq, cannot possibly comprehend how corrupt the entire system is as we have the nations highest level of corruption. The idiots in the GOP take crumbs from the progressive King and his court, and won't even rise up when they have someone on their side who wants to effect change. It is unbelievably sad. That is why I have begun the slow migration to Santa Fe.

Be wary with possible results of 'term limits,' what may happen will be professional staff and lobbyists 'guiding' the inexperienced and revolving door representatives through the intricacies of Washington BeltWay politics. How can we monitor back door policies, and who do we blame then?

As opposed to the 'guiding' of the experienced by lobbyist that has existed for years? No secret there!

That would take an Act of Congress, and there is NO WAY that those self-serving SOBs are going to shoot themselves in the foot voting on a bill
that would restrict Term Limits. We need less lawyers in Washington and more people with common sense who actually know what it is like
to live on $30,000/yr., and take that into consideration before adding to the 58,000 page IRS Code.

The staff (for example, see inadequate performance of the state department over the years, and the IRS, and the EPA.....) and lobbyists have been doing this guiding for decades!

We have term limits, it's called election day. We cry to high heaven about our legislators then re elect them over and over. It's not the politicians fault, it's the folks who vote them in's fault. We need to pay less attention to the party title and find out what they really believe and vote for.In other words we need an informed electorate.

What you post is theoretically true, but hard to be effective given the total corruption of the system. Between biased media, inadequate schooling, the "purchase" of votes, etc., not to mention the national apathy, the concept of an informed voter actually voting is nearing extinction. Thus, term limits would at least help.

After all, if term limits are bad, and if Election Day really is a term limit, than why do we limit the President?

I agree and have pointed this out before,but unfortunately I feel that many voters are so polarized that it's more important to vote their party regardless of the performance of the incumbent,to say nothing about the selection of the candidate by the political committees and that usually is out of our control.
