Letter of the WeeQ

Regarding “Term Limits Lose Appeal Among Those in Congress” on April 16: The quoted congressmen decided against “retiring” early because they “need more time to earn seniority and bring money to their districts.”

Excuse me? When did that become the raison d’être for serving in Congress? I’d gladly give up the Iowa pork in exchange for lawmaking for the general welfare of the American people.
