Reform the entitlement programs may be too late, (another article said Clinton in the 90s was the best time) it still needs to be addressed. However, it is a 3rd rail (amongst many 3rd rails), drowning out in today's more urgent illegal immigrant problem.
President Trump is going to stimulate the economy like nobodies business.
HOPEY CHANGEE turned out for the worse.
Whooda thunk it???? NOT Saul Alinsky, nosir!
Sorry, but today’s fragile snowflakes are facing nothing like the great depression followed by a world war.
Put on your big kid pants and grow up people! It is adversity that makes us strong, and wise. Stop running from it. You’ll like yourself much better in the morning. I promise.
That was all part of the plan.
You want to know what makes things really hard on us Millennials?
Crap like the Income Tax and Social Security Tax (the "pay back" from that we will never see)
Which if I am not mistaken were thought up by people who weren't Millennials.
Shouldn’t the ‘Rat Rattner be in the clink?
Still lovin' your hope and change?
I guess they are lucky they didn’t come of age during the 30’s. They would really be discouraged then. I suppose that counting your blessings and going on with life is simply too hard for them.

You mean we shouldn't be paying college professors $200k a year to give webinars for class? You mean we shouldn't give tenure to idiots that can't teach, but because they have tenure, they'll get a pension w/ free medical benefits when they retire after 20 years?
“...a daunting challenge that would require revamping federal outlays to emphasize areas like education, infrastructure and research and development. Spending more on these areas would require higher taxes on my generation, which is getting a lot more from government than we are paying into it.”
No, a daunting challenge is cutting federal outlays period. Too many folks getting paychecks from the government, too few people to pay the taxes for all of it.
If you want a daunting challenge - cut social security, federal pensions, military pensions, disability, medicare, medicaid, welfare, food stamps.
THAT is a daunting challenge.
Spending on a different mix of federal gravy is not the answer, and hardly a challenge compared to goring sacred oxen.
What’s really hard is trying to afford college and contribute to society while people who don’t appreciate this country get a free pass to getting an education.
Look who they vote for....no sympathy.
67% of them voted for obammy. they’ll get what they deserve.
The boomers’ national anthem is John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Totally bent in nature’s design. Living for today is what most boomers did.
“They are faced with a slow economy, high unemployment.....”
Woah, woah, woah. How can this be true? Obama and the rest of his admin (along with the sea of liberal drones) tout the 5.3% Unemployment rate and claim to have fixed the economy during the last few Recovery Summers
