they all got more money for rich people.
did any of them impose term limits, stop insider training, or impose any meaningful penalties for those that already have a lot of wealth? they got wealthier and so did all around.
Nope, they all deregulated, supported monopolies & tax loopholes.
… all while the core infrastructure (healthcare, transit systems, tax systems, education, housing, etc) withered away by design.
Not to mention the massive bail-outs via blank no-strings attached checks (if a gov has to give monies to a private company that usually means shareholders lose their value, but not in the USA, they just get free monies).
And ofc war profiteering (& constantly killing some of the poorest civilians on the planet).
We need congressional primary attendance to break 15% before we get to complain about term limits. If you don’t show up when you have a say, then you are responsible for the career politicians.
We should be voting twice every two years, not once every four, for federal elections alone.
You asked about creating term limits. There are limits on presidential terms, so I assumed you meant congressional term limits. No? Am I missing your point?

They literally didn’t, though. Clinton obtained surplus by raising taxes and by removing several caps which benefitted the wealthy.
And cutting the social safety net.

What about Sanders? How about Warren?

I hope you’re aware that Sanders was never president. But also that he’s not a democra, which folks sometimes forget.
They’re asking about enacting term limits. There is a presidential term limit, so I assumed they were talking about Congress.
neither were president or are in this picture? so what about them?

the OP posted Pic about presidents. my comment was did any of those presidents introduce term limits on congress or SCOTUS, etc.
I’d have loved Warren or Sanders, but neither were president.
Term limits would require legislation written by Congress. They cannot be implemented by POTUS.
I’m sure an executive order or thirty would have sufficed in leau of proper legislation.
see: current administration
Executive orders can just be repealed by the next administration. The most it could possibly affect is one House term.
