How else will the govt. get its money? If these young people, who have spent close to a hundred grand on a degree, don't go out and buy a house who will pay the property taxes? How will the govt. claim the U.S. is wealthy due to "home ownership"?

I got one of these next door. Nice enough kid till he decides to "practice" his guitar. He opens his bedroom window and practices the same riffs for five to seven minutes. He's awful. I can't understand why he does it with the volume all the way up on his amp. I don't understand why he wants the whole neighborhood to know he can't play the guitar?

It’s the marijuana. ;)

I had one of those next door. I went down to Best Buy and picked out a nice set of headphones for about $45, wrapped them up, put the kid's name on the package and left them (anonymously) on the door-step.

Ah, the blissful silence from that day on...

He still makes noise when he practices with his buddies, but all of his picking is done with the head-phones.
