I think this is an awful idea. Some friends lost their son and his wife in an auto accident two years ago. They are raising their four young children. She is 62 and works part time, he is 69 and works full time for the city. He intends to work as long as he possibly can to support and educate those children. The very idea he should be forced to retire when he is the breadwinner for a young family is an outrage.
I might be mistaken, but should they be able to get social security those those children? They may want to ask.
A better rule would be no federal hiring until you reach the age of 40 or have 20 years of experience in the PRIVATE SECTOR. We’d get a far better candidate pool who would be more inclined toward public service and less inclined to think the public is there to serve them.
My proposal is for the Federal Employees only, not the state and local employees. The state and localities would have to have their own laws for state employees.
Illinois has no term limits for its state house and senate members. Michigan is 3 terms in each body. Ohio is 3 terms in each body, but they can go back and forth after each term limit.
