"I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' interests, I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can."

Term limits would help to do just that. But, at least in my state, every time that the subject comes up it gets shot down.
Hell, we even had a referendum vote on term limits which passed with a decent majority. Two terms then you are out was the idea. The new legislature has extended the limits now to four terms.
IMNSHO, term limits is the best way to go but they need to be instituted in a constitutional admendment.
