Millennials and Gen Z have their turn

Gen Z and Millennials will make up 60% of the votes in upcoming elections. The successful leaders will have done the work and articulated the principles that motivate this up-and-coming group. The old platitudes will not work. Neither will the old political parties.

These younger citizens reject the petulant Baby-Boomers’ vitriol and want answers to hard questions. These are the same questions every generation asks. It’s just gotten very real for this generation, and they want workable answers, not platitudes.

The excesses of past generations have finally come home to roost. The national debt crushes the younger generation’s ability to afford a home. Excessive federal spending on pipe dreams, like renewable energy, has robbed this generation of a reasonable lifestyle or career.

Young people want a strong , vibrant, free-market economy because they can work hard and smart and get ahead on their own efforts. They don’t want anything handed to them because it weakens their spirit.

They are tired of people who always kick the can down the road and say, “Let’s have a new government program to fix the problem.” Well, the movers and shakers of this generation see through that nonsense. They’ve seen the Federal Reserve destroy the buying power of their dollars by allowing inflation to cut into the buying power (dollar devaluation) of their money. They’ve seen a morally corrupt education system promise everything and deliver nothing. It’s become a system that tells what to think instead of teaching students how to think. They’ve seen a welfare and entitlement system create generations of despondent victims unable to break the bonds of a government handout.

They see their government hiring and paying bureaucrats at their expense, while they suffer under student loan debt and are unable to afford a starter house.

Ah yes, the “you’re a Nazi” response. Way to go. Not.

You have a better term for a raging, idiotic, fool who constantly posts antisemitic crap and blames his own bad life choices on “the Joos” he sees hiding under his bed?

The Baby Boom Generation has reached the mortality shelf. Actuarial tables show that within 10 years, the Baby Boomer generation will be about half its current size.
