We need age restrictions on public offices held at the national level.
If they want to put everyone on social security in their 60's they should not be allowed to work either.
There are too many debilitating illnesses that can impact cognitive abilities as you get into those ages.
Term limits
Age limits
Balanced Budget amendment
78 is TOO ******* OLD. Just look at Joe
That is complete bullshit and classic ageism.
1. Debilitating illnesses can happen
at any age!
2. There are people that live past 100 without any cognitive impairment at all. To start to discriminate against them at age 60 for something they are not experiencing is disgusting and dumb, and will ultimately deprive the country of great talent and experience.
3. There have never been any upper age limits imposed on government service in the past. At a time when people are living longer and healthier lives, there is no justification to be imposing upper age limits on government service.
4. There are obviously people who frightened in the business world by Joe Biden serving as President through the age of 86. It discredits their attempts to fire or let go workers in their 50s and 60s.
5. Average life span is expanding, and with this expansion there have been drops in disability at the older ages. One day, we may be talking about average life spans of 120 years, with little to no impairment for 99% of that life span.
6. The idea that 60 or 65 is automatic retirement age is an outdated 1950s concept. Its 2021 NOT 1951! WAKE UP!
