Any restriction of political speech creates incentive to work around it. Campaign contribution limits are a bad idea, but politicians win points with stupid people and use it to ensure eternal reelection. Term limits will create incentive for career politicians to work around. Spending controls will stifle the need of politicians to buy votes, and they will try to break them.

I am not truing to find permanent solution. Passing term limits a balanced budget amendment will probably add fifty years to the life of our Republic. Eventually every government becomes too sclerotic.
