Timothy Roemer: “I think that many of the problems in America today are not necessarily going to be solved by people in Washington today.…”

“I think that many of the problems in America today are not necessarily going to be solved by people in Washington today. As we debate term limits here, saying that term limits are going to solve problems, to finance the budget, to change Washington, to invest in our children, I think that is absolutely the wrong approach to take. The answers to America lie within the American people. If we can encourage people to vote in our home constituencies, if we can encourage people to be responsible citizens and act through the ballot box, then we will solve so many of the problems that are bothering this great and wealthy Nation today. In Indiana, where I am from, we have seven Members that are new to our delegation since 1990. Seven out of ten are new, and we do not have term limits. The people of Indiana are voting to send new people to Washington, D.C.”
