my daughter is 21, and she and all of her friends qualify as “millenials”. Yes, they lean left, especially on social issues – but they also *all* know that they are going to get screwed out of everything they put into social security. I haven’t met a person of that age group yet who believes in SS, which would probably surprise Drum. They know it’s a scam. They also know that their employment situation is horrible, even for those who *do* have degrees, and it isn’t getting any better. What use does a millenial have for any union, for example, since there are no new jobs and they’ll never be allowed to join??? AND they know that they are going to be asked to give up most of what they do earn for the rest of their lives so that the Boomer generation can go tottering around the countryside in their supposedly glorious retirement years. And they’re pissed about it.

If Drum truly believes that the millenials are going to keep funding a gigantic wealth transfer scheme from the young to the old, he’s an even greater fool than I thought.

And when that scheme falls apart, the rest of the Liberal Orthodoxy falls apart with it.
