You claim that and yet those are the people in charge and everything is either quarterly or on a two year schedule to mesh with constitutional requirements for maintaining a standing army. There is zero evidence of long term thinking coming from the gerontocracy

On the 2nd sentence, I agree govts (not generations) rarely think long-term. Largely because of the election cycle. Not sure what the answer is. Longer terms would risk inept or corrupt governments being able to retain power too long.
