They should do something similar to the stock options.  A basic salary while in
office, then a bonus based on GDP? increase at the end of each term.

But I think a big change would be overall term limits.  i.e. No more than 10
years total in any office combined.

We need to do what Milton Freidman suggested (paraphrasing): "Make doing the
right thing the politically right thing."  It will take a while to set up those
incentives.

More like 4 years of our critter opposing the right thing, then 2 years of
messing things up more.

That's the question.  I'm thinking "no".  So why did Michigan elect Trump, but
also elect a useless Democrat as senator?

Well, most cities are populated by morons and other bots.
