Many are legitimately worried about the age of our elected officials. I am as well, only for entirely different reasons. The real problem in congress is what I would call folks in the middle. Those in their thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, and seventies. Because with age comes experience and yes, occasionally, drool.
But the old are the only ones who need to wipe spittle with a piece of legislation. Ideally, congress should be made up of octogenarians and infants. They have no experience, but that’s fine. Here’s what babies won’t do. How can they run for president when most of them will barely be able to walk? They won’t pollute the airwaves with press conferences. Though, when they do, it won’t be any less intelligible than the average congressman.
For the climate obsessed, their carbon and actual footprints are far smaller. None of them drive yet, so that’s not something to worry about.
It’s not like this could be any worse.
