Millennials and entitlement
Anyone think it a bit off that millennials get the entitled label when it's the baby boomer generation that put the country 17 trillion in debt? To pay for their "entitlements."
*sigh* 24 hrs later and I notice my typo. Killed the extra "in."

Senior citizens are way more entitled than millennials.

18 RisposteYou don't get 17 trillion in debt to pay for social security....you can thank Obama for that. 17 trillion of debt is from not having a reliable budget for an ever increasing government, and ever increasing amount of spending. As for social security, it was set up, supposedly, as a sort of government savings account. Yes the number of people drawing from it is alot higher than the amount paying into it, but it's the other non- social security entitlements that's actually doing more damage. Besides, all the jackass in the federal government spent OUR money a loooong time ago. Yet another example why government entitlements and socialist programs look good on paper but not in real life.

Look up "Johavism" it's the belief that each generation is the worse than before. It's been recorded throughout history

1 RispondiWhat is the definition of millennial? Is it anyone born in the year 2000? Or just around that time?
-
Baby boomers ironically would rather vote for someone more extreme than Reagan than someone like FDR.

1 RispondiSome day we'll be the crabby old people bitching about the damn kids and how they're ruining our lives. It's a repeating cycle of blame that isn't going to die out anytime soon. Try not to let it get to you.

1 RispondiDebt? Yeah no not the millennials fault. The war in the Middle East skyrocketing defense funding destroying the budget that bill Clinton balanced many many years ago is what put us 17trillion in debt. You can also thank the baby boomers for the creation and thus reliance on social security which many economists warned about for nearly twenty five years before the system collapsed in on itself. Entitlement? Millennials are completely entitled. They live in an age they don't have to work for anything and were not disciplined. The idealism that if you lay a hand on a child it's abuse is destroying families by taking away control from the parents and putting it in the hands of immature children.

2 RisposteWhy blame any generation? Government did the spending. Really, WWII and FDR was the beginning of the nonsense (though it evolved out of the new Keynesian economics). Since then, every politician in power has believed the same economic theory, even though it's clearly refuted by the Austrian economists. Or, for that matter, by Bastiat before Keynes was even born. (Broken window theory, what's seen what's unseen essay, if you're interested?) But it comes down to metrics. Everyone wants the GDP to increase. GDP is defined as private spending + government spending + investments + net exports. Notice that this number is primarily driven by spending. Government, when unrestricted, can spend quite a lot of money, and that drives a higher GDP. Running a big deficit means better GDP, means USA gets better global economic ranking. Does it matter if the US does the equivalent [i]labor?[/i] No, unfortunately it doesn't. Modern economists don't measure an economy's success by the value it provides, only by how much it spends. Also, the debt's over $19 trillion now. It's doubled in the last eight years, and the fun part of the exponential curve is here. Anyway, [i]do you[/i] feel entitled to a good economy?

Every generation has said varying versions of the same thing about the next generation for a very long time now.

2 RisposteIt's not that they feel entitled, it's that they realize that they're missing out on government programs like universal healthcare, a living wage and affordable/free tuition, which are programs most developed countries have. Countries like Canada and Denmark rate much higher on best countries polls than the U.S. for this reason.

3 RisposteBoomers are the worst generation tbh fam.

Damed hign pitched millennials!

It's just more rabble rousing to distract from the real problems.

I was born in 1960 and have worked or been in school since first grade. Just about everyone that I know from my generation has done the same. Both of my daughters born in 90 and 92 were phi beta kappas in college and graduated summa cum lauda. They both have good jobs and work hard. I'll let the youngest one pass on maining a warlock tho. :)

1 Risponditbh fam I've come to accept the bigger picture of Humans being a collective of morons.

OP is very reasonable. You can actually have a discussion with him. I must be in the twilight zone. Is this actually destiny off topic? ;)

Baby boomers were know for being entitled at their time. We just didn't call it that back then.

5 RisposteHonestly, does our debt even matter to anyone anymore? It's gotten so bad it's unfixable.

1 RispondiMillennials are getting the blame but Gen Xers are the reason. Gen x parents were all getting divorced or too busy with work (latch key kids are from that generation) so they want to make sure their kids aren't raised that way and they over correct. went from not enough love to so much "love" it is stifling kids development.

1 RispondiI have to side with the Millenials on this. The price of everything today is much higher than back in the 1960's. A person today can NOT work one summer to pay off their entire college career up to a Bachelor's. A person can NOT work 1 year to fully own a house and a car, if they don't have the college experience or powerful connections, which are things that many Millenials cannot get past high school unless they are wealthy. It's definitely a cry out from the upper class and the well-to-do: They don't want their position of power to be threatened, so they have to blame the less fortunate, or the people who want to make their lives better. But, fortunately, this toxic and destructive mentality seems to be quickly dying, while a more moderate view is taking its place. There will still be people who exist who think that this toxic mentality is true, but that is starting to become the minority.
