I see young people turn down good opportunities so they can stay home with mom and live off students loans postponing maturing into adulthood. The mom knows there is a price for this down the road and makes comments that she’ll never be able to retire knowing her kid will not pay the loans back, that it will fall to her and is fine with this behavior.

The point is, the blaming of Millennials, Boomers, or any other subgroup for the demise of industry and the fundamental soundness (or lack thereof) of our economy and rights is just more of the politics of division the Left is so well known for. (my post at #86 was an illustration that the whining sounds the same from all quarters, which is exactly what the Left wants)

Yeah, the Millennials contributed to it.

So did the “Z”, the Boomers, the Greatest Generation, and so on. (Yes, the “Greatest Generation” did too, voting in FDR and his ilk for four terms who arguably did more long term harm to our economy and freedom than any other President)

I will likely live to see it, but we will reach a point where our economy is going to collapse from the accumulated weight of debt (we borrowed $500 billion dollars in the last three months!) because it can’t go on forever.

There is going to be plenty of blame to throw around.
