The longer they are there, the more sold out they become.
Career politicians are the worst.
Completely disconnected from the people because the only thing they know is how to get elected and work the system for personal enrichment and job security.
They help pass laws which affect people and the economy they've never participated in. The bad ones are hard to get rid of. Kind of like tenured professors. So you might lose an exceptional one from time to time but they can switch houses or branches in that case.
If you like no term limits, why do we have one for the President?

You can still be a career politician without being elected. Most business owners, lobbyists, CEOs, and board members are just that. They just don't have to take any oaths.
