Among Stone's points that I'd most want him to elaborate on, since he's a
demographer who specializes in family policy, is:

The choice to deny the vote to children creates absurd policy dynamics: The
> Congressional Budget Office scores the cost of important policies like a
> carbon tax or an expansion of the child tax credit on a 10-year baseline,
> with an electorate that is, on average, just a bit more than 10 years
> away from retirement
