I think too what’s tough is I’m describing systems that don’t yet exist and never have but what we should strive toward, at least in the US.

Open, democratic, term limits, balanced budgets, tax codes that work, programs that are effective as possible?

The US is a very robust set of checks and balances. The institutions are still very strong. I do like our ability to run until you're voted out. The head of state 2-term policy is a strange one for me. Beyond that, I think you are on the right track.

The democratic institutions need to hold the elected officials more constitution, I think report cards would help. I still don't understand why we can't create projects that have a tax to pay for them that sunsets once the total, plus matainance is collected.
