You realize that working for government is not even remotely an "indulgence," right?
95% of elected federal officials, ranging from the most measly congressman to Obama himself, could earn twice as much outside of government as they do in it.
So why do they do it? A desire to serve or a lust for power or some of both?
I am undecided on the idea of term limits. Ideally, bums would be voted out of office. Realistically, that doesn't seem to happen, however, and I think there's definitely power inherent in incumbency that makes voting them out difficult.
