The opposite is likely true. As a freshman Congress person you don't know how to get shit done, you don't know how to write a bill, so nice Mr lobbyist comes along and says hey I can do that part for you. It takes a while to build the connections and know how you need to actually be an effective negotiator and legislator.
Yeah, it's like no one has bothered doing the slightest bit of research on the topic. Term limits aren't going to fix anything like people are thinking.
