Flip Side of the Coin
Flip Side of the Coin is a podcast where people can go to explore different viewpoints on many issues. We take an issue and in one episode we examine and explore one viewpoint, and then in the next episode we do the same for the other side of the issue. Our goal is to give our listeners a place where they can explore differing viewpoints and their merits without feeling the need to defend themselves or argue back. Join us as we explore political and social issues, and even break down some issues that are just for fun, as we examine how others view the world in Flip Side of the Coin.

Against Term Limits
Today we start a conversation around term limits and the arguments that those who oppose term limits raise in the discussion. Today, congressional representatives do not have term limits, but the president does. We look at the history of how that came to be, with the tradition that George Washington set where no president served more than two terms until FDR, who is the only president in history to serve more than two terms.
We look at some of the arguments that critics of term limits raise, specifically that they limit the voice of the people, and that they could inadvertently force experienced lawmakers out of office just when we need them most.
