When their dorms are regulated to 55 degrees in the winter and 85 degrees in the spring/fall.

When they cannot use electricity or afford batteries for their microwaves, mini fridges, computers, Ipods, DVD players and video game players.

When they are forced to walk or bike because there is no gasoline they can afford and the roads are too snow covered for motorcycles because there isn’t enough diesel for the plows.

When their parents inform them they will have to support themselves because the family’s jobs have been impacted by the cost of energy regulations.

But, mostly, when their professors cannot afford to heat their homes or drive to work and are forced to teach in
55 —85 degree classrooms while paying extra taxes on everything, while Democrats are in control of the country.

I have been saying for awhile that the younger generation is going to force us all into extreme misery that will only abate when they have experienced it themselves.

It is going to have to get much worse before they wise up.

Excellent point.

It reminds me of a recent Michael Bronne interview on C-Span in which he said, in essence, younger voters are more sympathetic to government interference with the market because none of them were old enough to remember the economic disasters of the 1970’s.

It’ll probably take another round of 14% home mortgage rates, 12% inflation, and hours-long gas lines before they Gen Y’ers truly understand just how much the Democrats can destroy an economy.
