....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.

Maybe he was thinking of these "18-26 young liberals" optimistically changing the economy

Of course they are. 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.

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.

Oh, *you* think they are liberals. I posit you do not know what a
liberal is.

Heheheh. Hey, here's a libertarian idea for you: let's just get rid of
government and set everyone out on their own for everything.

Those 18 to 26ers will be 28 to 36ers before they even begin to
think about leaving mom and dad's nest.

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.

I could be wrong but if any of them vote at all I doubt if it's conservative...

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.
