One thing which seems to have evaded everyone is the fact that personal responsibility is missing now. There is no incentive to grow up. There are no consequences. It used to be that when you got out of school at whatever level, you had to get a job or go hungry and be homeless. Parents did not let their kids live with them more than a couple years without paying their share after they got out of school, if that. There were no government programs that paid for everything – if there were, it was shameful to have to avial yourself of them. Now, if kids don’t get a job, they either live with and mooch off their parents forever, or the government pays their way.

So, where is the incentive? Where are the consequences for irresponsibility?
