Perhaps one needs to look at this from the point of what could be instead of 
what is.  The "labyrinth" would then have to be simplified.  With term 
limits, one could also require the "retirement" of staffers.   There are 
solutions.

I haven't found that with term limits here that we are having the problems 
of "buying beds."  I don't see why it won't work on a larger scale.

However, 2) has to go along with it or one has accomplished nothing with 
term limits.
