Lol. Not going to happen.
If the goal of those in government was to help the elderly, then maybe. But this is not the case. The goal of much of the monetary policy is to protect and enhance the asset portfolios of the mega-rich that run the country, everything is a secondary.
The Federal Reserve, who create money, is a private company of which profits 6% for every dollar they create out of thin air. Why would they encourage alternate, logic-based monetary systems or policies that would weaken their own power? The banks have power over the government and it is one that is much more prevalent than elections, so they'll try to hang on to this until the collapse comes, which is inevitable, because our world economic policies are fundamentally flawed and continue to get changed only to benefit the few people on top who actually pull the strings.
