A month or so ago somebody suggested that politicians should have a retirement age. If I remember right they were talking about how so many of our politicians were a generation or two older than the vast majority of the working people. Therefore making decisions for a group of people they were out of touch with. At first I thought it was a little unjust, but then I've thought about it more and more and I think they were really on to something. I'm a boomer (70F) of good intelligence, lots of life experiences, relative good health, etc. and I have trouble remembering names mostly but other stuff as well. I don't know the number of our congress and other political office holders that are in their upper 70's or older, but I think there is quite a few that are more than likely at least in my state if not worse. I'm not sure I trust them anymore to make our nation's decisions. I think a top age limit might me in our best interest.
