Did your grandparents say anything new over the Turkey this year? Are the leaders of your company in their 60's and 70's with a bunch of VP's in their 20's?
I wonder who actually is going to be making policy now? Certainly the Senator's themselves don't have the time to draft laws so are a bunch of 20 something aides in charge?
Given the demographics here on KOS (the largest percentage of people are in their late 30's and 40's) and that the majority of corporate leaders are in their 50's isn't it odd that in government they are in their late 60's and 70's? (SEE BELOW THE FOLD FOR LEADERSHIP IN THE SENATE)
