I am skeptical of the value of term limits. At best, they're apt to be more of a cosmetic bandage than anything else.
Regularly cycling out the few really good Congressmen we manage to get (such as Thomas Massie) - just so they can be replaced with a steady stream of mediocrities - doesn't seem like such a great idea to me.
But in any case, Congress is pretty much just a dog-and-pony-show veneer for the executive plantation's permanent phalanxes of entrenched bureaucrats, lobbyists,"stakeholders", etc. - which routinely fob their collective nose at Congressional authority and "oversight" (LOL). I don't see how adding a game of "musical chairs" to the mix will do much if anything to address that problem. (In fact, it could make the problem even more impervious to mitigation than it already is.)
Less time and effort should be wasted on trying to get the feds to play right, and more time and effort should be spent on trying to get the states to just stop playing the fed's game with the feds' deck of cards on the feds' table under the feds' rules (although admittedly, that isn't likely to happen, either ... at least, not until SHTF, if even then).
