Would you support a mandatory retirement age of 75 for US House, US Senate & US Supreme Court Justices and if not why?

You're viewing a single thread.
Let's do it slightly differently, let's make the mandatory retirement age for political office the median life expectancy age for the entire country. If the politicians, etc can manage to make everyone live longer, they can hold office longer.
Similarly, take away their separate and different medical coverage and put them on the same Medicare system everyone else in the country has to use.
Make it 75% the median life expectancy and it's a deal.
I think they should also be paid using their state's disability/unemployment system and get food through their state's EBT system.
And have to live in section 8 housing while in DC
Wonderful idea.
I love the idea but if anyone knows how to fudge numbers it's them.
It will only be a matter of time before you hear that the median life expectancy for Americans is 125.
Yes I'd like to vote for your policies
Oh hell yeah.
Force them to use the public option. Make a law to specifically disallow all congresspersons from enrolling in private insurance for as long as they hold office. Violation of that restriction is immediate ejection from the relevant legislative chamber.
We would have single payer by next Tuesday.
I agree with this take, especially since us younger people are going to be the anti-aging-drug guinea pigs.
