The Future Party

A big problem with American politics are short term fixes that are penny wise and pound foolish.  What if we put together a political party that focused on the long term picture solely to invest in the future of the US⸮ 

I am all for individual self-determination, rights and freedoms, but this doesn't mean we can't take part in collective actions--that we can not do alone--if we decide to do so together as a democracy.  The best way to start long term investment in the future of the country is to promote education, health care, and reduce debt.  Another component is to promote a sound economic infrastructure, like rail travel, renewable energy and basic research. 

How to encourage politicians⸮  What if we pegged politician retirement income and benefits to the median income, updated yearly, of US citizens (or people living in the US, not just citizens, whichever is lower)?  Also, what if we spread out terms over a longer time period so that politicians could not serve consecutive terms but could serve alternate terms (perhaps at half the time span, elected once and serve twice over a longer period)?
