    It already was. Fun fact, Penn Wharton just came out with a full breakdown of federal spending as it pertains to civil benefits with regards to your age. In other words, how much the government spends on its citizens according to age. For fiscal year 2025, the federal government is spending $43,700 for every person over the age of 64. Conversely, it spends $4,300 on every person under the age of 26. That works out to the government spending 10x more on elderly people than children.

    The full breakdown is here if anyone is interested. We’re great again!!
