That line represents the age difference between the median person and median senator. You seem to have interpreted it as the difference between old people and babies.

I... what you're saying is right, but I feel like we're saying the same thing on completely different levels. Old people and babies are consistently living longer now, people together are living longer. Hence upward trends of living, but yet the age gap of average age and senator age is staying pretty stable. That's pretty interesting, although I guess we're way beyond the actual post at this point.
