David Schweikert Republican
“The number of Americans who are 65 and older has grown from 41 million in 2011 to 63 million this year.”
“Excellent. I am probably going to use every one of them. No, I will try to go as fast as I can here. The U.S. population age 65 and up, and I go back to 2011: 41 million. This year, I have 63 million. Okay. Wonderful. I am one of these. I am basically 64. Now, understand, my wife and I are both 64, and I have a 4-year-old and a 10-year-old, so we are very optimistic about the future, or we are out of our minds, but we all knew this was happening.”
