I agree with this to a point. While younger people will bring new ideas and problem solving, the older ones have more experience. There needs to be a good mix. I agree with term limits. If we limit our Pres. to only 2 terms, then congress needs them as well.
Oh, I greatly value the experience of the older generations, but there are too many entrenched old farts in congress with too many special interests groups that effectively "own" them for my taste.
I don't think for example a group of 70-80+ year olds should be writing laws for regulating cryptos when they barely know how to pay for a bill online. These same people had the luxury of enjoying 10-12% interest rates on bank CD's in the 1980's (https://www.bankrate.com/banking/cds/historical-cd-interest-rates/). A luxury that we never had.
Now, these same people are going after stable coins and want to destroy crypto defi and have us go back to putting our money in traditional banks earning a measly 0.5%.
I agree with you that congress should be limited to two terms just like the president.
I agree...but, an age limit would block POTUS! Who's sharper than DJT...
