why is it important to you for them to be young? you only provided a counter argument (wisdom).

I think it’s important for them to be reflecting the will of the people but for better or worse, the people are kind of old.

Congress is much older than the general population.

Older people tend to have shorter term thinking, basically not worrying about what happens after they die soon. Leaves a big mess for younger people to deal with when they are themselves older so they then just push off the problem to the next generation and the vicious cycle continues till everything is bad everywhere.
