It's pretty simple really. Schock was 27 years old when elected to office. His actions are absolutely greedy, but most likely are the result of a generation of babies being given "participation trophies" and feeling entitled to stuff that they didn't earn.
Let's hope that the Millennials can put someone out there that actually knows what hard work, earning what you have, and ethics actually means. Otherwise, we're doomed. Schock's demise is unfortunately not unexpected given what we already know about this generation.
Good sales guys, Repubs/Dems/Independents, know how to pad their expense account without being caught. We learned it from guys working back in the 1970s/1980s,etc.

No it doesn't.
Of course, grumpy old men still take great joy in yelling at kids to "get off my lawn!"
Do you have any actual information indicating that this behavior is more common now than it was fifty, or a hundred and fifty, years ago? Or are you taking a single case of a corrupt person whose background you aren't familiar with, and extrapolating your imaginary psychoanalysis to an entire generation of people?

I made a living at one time catching expense report cheats amongst other corporate investigative duties . Many a middle level managers and a few executives found their careers sidelined and few ended up in jail.
Yet another politician from Illinois with ethics "issues". What's with that state?
