Is our government broken?


I see this fundamental problem daily. I hear in the news that things are bad, but not that bad. Even more prevalent is the concern to not upset anybody. I see this in the exact opposite way.

With Congressional approval hovering around 20 percent, and presidential approval in the low 40's, I ask "why should we keep things the same in government. I have been a constant advocate of term limits, especially for any Congress with such poor approval ratings. It seems to me that if the Presidential or Congressional approval ratings fall below 30 percent, a total recall should occur and now members be voted in to office. Am I way off the mark? Please tell me what you think.
