Here's a young woman griping and moaning about the national debt being unfair to the younger generation.
Well, of course it isn't fair.
So why do so many kids fall for the Hope'n'Change bullshit?
Because they think they're being unselfish by bankrupting the nation .
Because we haven't done a good enough job of explaining that true selfishness resides in Lockheed, Monsanto, Green Energy Scams, and D.C. Lobbyists, instead of in the people who don't want to burdern them with a 17 trillion dollar debt.
Because my generation hasn't had to pay for anything yet, and these kids think they'll be able to pass on the mess just like we did.
Because John Maynard Keynes didn't die in his crib as an infant, and billions of people around the world now believe that governments should try to control economies. (Yeah, kinda harsh, I know, but I'm in a hurry and couldn't think of a better way to phrase it.)
Because government schools promote government policies.
Because the Republican Party's stance on most social issues is repugnant to many people under 30.
Because the Republican Party, the primary opponent of the Hope'n'Change bullshit, is the party of big spending.
Because they truly believe, despite centuries of evidence to the contrary, that government can provide services more cheaply than the private sector.
Because those of us who see through the Hope'n'Change bullshit don't always make the best evangelists. We're too pissed about it, if such a thing is possible.
Anyway, those are just a few reasons why I think the kids went for Hope'n'Change on their own credit cards. I'm sure there are other reasons.
Well, of course it isn't fair.

One thing that I've heard is that the economic policies of the left go beyond anything that Keynes advocated.
Points that you missed:
essentially all media supports the left
essentially all movies, tv shows, music supports the left
we got to elect a black guy
white guys usually get a second term so the black guy should as well
