....for whom the bell tolls:
According to new polling by right-wing political consultant Frank Luntz, Americans 18 to 26 are extremely liberal — so liberal that “the hostility of young Americans to the underpinnings of the American economy and the American government” should “frighten every business and political leader” and “excite activists for Sanders and, to a lesser degree, Clinton activists.” Luntz’s poll found that young Americans are optimistic about both the country’s future and their own: 61 percent say the best days of the United States are still ahead of us rather than behind us, and 88 percent are somewhat, very, or extremely optimistic about their economic prospects. But they have concerns, too. Their biggest, in order, are “corruption,” “greed,” and “inequality.” They aren’t nationalistic: 58 percent of respondents said they agreed more with the statement “America isn’t better or worse than most other countries” than with “America is exceptional. It’s better than every other country in the world.” In fact, 35 percent of 18- to 26-year-olds, including 42 percent of 18- to 21-year-olds, said they considered themselves more a citizen of the world than of the U.S. In response to the question, “Which type of political system do you think is the most compassionate?”, 58 percent said socialism and 9 percent said communism. Just 33 percent chose capitalism. Sixty-six percent of the poll’s respondents said corporate America “embodies everything that is wrong about America.” Finally, more young Americans declared that the “most pressing issue facing America today” is income inequality than anything else. Income inequality was followed by education — specifically its cost. Respondents said they most respect nurses and doctors, followed by teachers and soldiers. The least-respected professions are bankers (2 percent), real estate agents (2 percent), elected officials (4 percent), and business leaders (6 percent). Wisely, just 7 percent of young Americans respect journalists. The poll, conducted February 11 to 14, surveyed 1,000 18- to 26-year-olds. ++++++++++ Tick-tock. |

They have never really paid any bills and they believe they are entitled to everything for free. Most of those kids are still living with their parents. http://tinyurl.com/zr8zmpd Once they figure out that $18 trillion debt will land on them, they might become a little more fiscally responsible. The only difference between these kids and the flower children of the 60s is that these kids have not rejected their parent's money and lifestyle. |

Hey, here's a libertarian idea for you: let's just get rid of government and set everyone out on their own for everything. News flash, It is THEIR money the government is spending now. The question the left keeps kicking down the road is when we go after them to get it. We can't keep spending 125% of revenue. (the projection this year from the White House) Debt to GDP is 104% The last time we had that was in WWII. The only reason we got out of that debt was because the US was redesigned for total production and we blew up everyone else's ability to produce much of anything (with the exception of the Soviets). The world needed everything, we arranged a boycott of the Soviets and had the ability to fill their needs. A decade later was the last time the US actually balanced it's books. Perhaps that does not trouble you because you think it is fine to just print the money we need. |

They are just waiting for mom and dad to die and leave them the nest. Hope they didn't have too much debt themselves. I hope they don't hear Fred Thompson talking about reverse mortgages. |

Perhaps that does not trouble you because you think it is fine to just print the money we need. As I have stated here a number of times, we need to restructure our society and make sure the poor and middle class have a good chance at decent jobs and single payer health care coverage, we need to raise taxes on the wealthy, we need to end any economic advantage and tax breaks to corporations that export jobs, and we need to start drastically cut military spending. Your plan, tossing tens of millions of Americans to the curb, isn't going to hack it. |
