It is they who are seeing their futures destroyed by Obama, and Democrat Policies.
They will be the first generation to have a lower standard of
living than their parents. They are experiencing generational expectation reset:(
Do 54% of Millennials really like the fact that they are being spent into bankruptcy?
This article is crappola.
My kid is a senior at college. His professors are mostly socialists and they push the marxist socialist, no one is better than anyone else, capitalism is bad, dogma and the young heads of mush eat it up.
Very few understand that they will Never pay this ass clowns bill he’s laying on them.
Blacks, Jews, fags, and the young will continue supporting and voting for this “magic Nigro”.
You think all of us don’t see this crap?
Look, rejoice that we’ve halved the gap from 30 points to 15. Have to work to flip this over.
Most of my peers wasted their time in college learning nothing when they should develop a skill that’ll get them a job!

That’s bogus.
