Letters: Term limits would get rid of ‘establishment’

AP

There is so much complaining about being fed up with “the establishment” these days, and that seems to be the main reason “outsiders” are the preferred representatives for people who want to get the country back on track.

The best solution would be to have term limits in Congress. Lawmakers then would not have the opportunity to “establish” themselves and could get down to the business of truly representing the people who elected them and making decisions based solely on what is best for the country.
