The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Fiscal vs calendar. I've been watching, like some of you, to see when they update calendar so I can update my LTC presentation stats.

Check the numbers in the OP against the PDF I linked. That's where the OP numbers came from.

Are these stats for new licenses only or for both new and renewal combined?

Just adding in my head there were 274 people age 90 or above who got their LTC‘s.

There were also 316 people ages 18 through 20 who got their LTC’s.

The numbers jump up into the thousands starting at age 21.

The over 90s stat is awesome, but the stats for the younger folks is actually more encouraging because they will be supporters for years to come
