How so?

It weren't Millennials that oversaw the price of a college degree reach that of a small home while mandating that every job that paid over ten dollars an hour require one.

It weren't Millennials that shipped our entire manufacturing base overseas and imported a foreign slave labor force to work the few blue collar jobs that remained for pennies.

Did Millennials allow our health care system to achieve costs so sky-high that breaking an arm without health insurance could bankrupt a family?

It weren't Millennials who built solid middle-class lives with wages provided by labor unions and then sought to dismantle these unions once they no longer benefited from them.

Enjoy your socialized medicine. It's coming, courtesy of Millennials. Call it "payback" if you will. It's going to suck if you're over 65 but at least a child's broken arm won't bankrupt a family.

"It weren't Millennials that..."

All true, and much more that I'm sure you could list. So who is going to step up and identify exactly who it is that is behind these actions?   [hint: Bernays uses the words "according to our will"].

"If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."

- Edward Bernays

The youth of today are no different than their parents or our parents, they have just been more effectively indoctrinated than we were. And yes, I do believe that we were also led down a path not of our own choosing.

Drew is right. The Baby Boomers indulgence of the 80s and 90s led to this. Reagan and Clinton had some failed ECONOMIC policies
