Some of the comments here make me wonder about the stability of the people making them--perhaps they are simply selfish beyond anything I have known before
I think you are seeing frustration. Out of curiosity, what was your debt level for your education? Mine was low. Look at the college debt many of these young people incur. They get out and have such debt to repay and see estimates of 70% tax rates to pay for our generation's largesse. What do you expect them to say?
You're alright RochesterFan.... For a Boomer!

You're comments make a lot of sense. Thanks!

My debt level was low, but the payoff has been equally abysmal, and my degree is technical in a field that is alive and well. The young'uns can say what I said and say:
"I was stupid for going to college."
Other than that, life is tough. If they think I am going to roll over and be processed into hot dogs, they can think again. My frustration with the unhappy hand I have been dealt never included wishing anyone dead.
And whatever do you mean by "our generation's largesse"? Most of my adult life post college has been barely middle class, and includes some scary passages through poverty. I know how to not go into debt and how to survive on next to nothing.
