Kenri 07/28/23 1:30:36 PM #498: | "Fun" fact (that you all might know already): relative to the rest of us, Congress is actually getting younger https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/04/01/yes-congress-is-getting-older-but-so-are-the-rest-of-us/ today the average Congressman is roughly 1.5x as old as the average U.S. citizen. Again, the ratio is much smaller than it was in the early 1900s, when the average Congressman was anywhere from 2 to 2.5 times as old as the average citizen. If that same ratio held true today, the average Senator would be 93 years old! The actual Senatorial average of 63 is downright sprightly by comparison. article is from 2014 tbf --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
