LETTER: Too many octogenarians in our government

I have an idea that will solve the age-old problem of being age-old. The United States needs to ratify a constitutional amendment disallowing any president, senator, representative or Supreme Court justice from being elected or appointed to his or her respective office after the age of 75, beginning in 2028. That would solve the issue of physical or mental awareness of some of our existing representatives who shall remain nameless, in part because they can’t remember their names.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
