If anything, they're the ones who should feel screwed with the world they'll probably be facing by the time they're my age.
We're screwed now, and we need to do what we can to 'unscrew' it b4 we pass it on. Otherwise it will be like inheriting your father's worthless collection of bird feathers.

40% OF the unemployed are millenials, NOT 40% OF millenials are unemployed. Which means they are looking for work. Make sense when you consider we are going to be the next largest labor pool.
Some of the posters have a hard time with statistics.... Like assuming birth rates and Medicaid rates are static and drawing erroneous conclusions from that.

Don't forget boomers are much more responsible for the current state of the US as they have been voting longer and more often.

Looks pretty grim to me...

Women receiving public assistance, as a group, have a birth rate 3 times higher than women who don't receive public assistance. That, in itself has led to the additional problem of nearly half of all U.S. births being paid for by Medicaid. 70% of those kids will never rise out of poverty, even as adults.

Birth rate stats citations:

Medicaid Pays For Nearly Half of All Births in the United States | publichealth.gwu.edu

Only 30% of those born poor ever make it out of poverty

Care to tell us how the stats have changed, lately?

You think that 35% of those born in the US each year facing a lifetime of poverty and struggle because their parents were irresponsible and uncaring is a laughing matter? How very sad...

I asked you to update the stats, if you believe they're any different. What's wrong? Can't you do it?

Hispanic birth rates have fallen since your data has came out. Hispanic immigration has fallen too! Trends change over time, educate yourself on Google.

They inherit the world we created.

I.e., it's not their fault; it's ours.
