    Tricky to elect younger & more competent when the older generation is so much more practiced at the schmoozing aspect, unfortunately. Not to mention better funded by special interests who trust their predictability.

        We have them, they’re called elections. I don’t like most people in Congress, but it’s not up to me to decide who the people of Kentucky or California want to represent them. I have the right to weigh in on exactly 3 members of the legislature: 1 Congressional representative and 2 US Senators.

      Don’t worry, there’s plenty of young incompetent people in office, too!
