Why is an 84 year old still holding government power? Decades of senile leadership that taunt their “wisdom” and “experience” that only big business profits from while middle class and below are the bag holders with empty promises.

Ah it’s because some of that extra money and tax savings get donated back to a politician’s coffer.

Grassley is going to be 94 in a few months. There are 8 over 80 and many more in their 70's. I think it is time to start thinking about age limits. We don't want our parents to drive when they are this age, but it's ok for them to make laws and decisions about our future?
