    To be fair, no body understands ‘economics’ and age has not stopped Putin, Xi, Trump or a whole list of evil people get and keep power so why say Bernie is too old?

      Most of the American politicians are too old. You don’t have limits. Look at the Pelosi. She should step down.

        I could see a role for ‘elder statesmen and women’ as a chamber of cousellors i.e. they offer advice when asked but are not ‘hands-on’. Instead, they step down at a retirement age (about 60 years old say) and their juniors step up. That way you get the best from all generations and no generation selfishly dominates decision-making.

          Could be a viable option. I don’t understand how in the USA politicians can work till they die.
