Bright, eager—and unwanted. .....

What a colossal waste.

40% still at mom and dads? No need for a job?

It would be telling to show stats on political party affiliation and maybe even survey results for how they voted.

I bet they overwhelmingly voted for The One.

You are so superior to others of your generation. I’ll get you clams and that French white wine that tastes like rocks and waterfalls next time you visit. And another gun.

Who came up with the bane “millennials”? It’s slightly better than the insulting “generation x,” but nevertheless confusing. My instinct is to think of them having been born in this millennium. But that’d mean they couldn’t be mote than 12, and though 12 year olds can work we don’t usually expect them to.

Most of these kids have received a full dose of “progressive” education from k thru undergrad or higher.

They are likely to be more concerned about “social justice”, “gay rights” and “climate change” than economic sustenance.

Pelosi and her ilk would call this success, with ObamaCare and the welfare state they can work part time or they can be artists and not have to work and just paint or whatever.

“Of those 25-29, slightly more than 40 percent are married, but that is down 80 percent from 1960.”

That’s just an enormous shift. 80%. Wow.

Don’t worry - you can stay on your parents’ health-care until 26

Then there is welfare and foodstamps and free contraception, so you can continue to do your social activism or work for next-to-nothing for that environmental NGO!

Life is double-plus good in Obamaland!
