frick you. You have never paid for anything of mine. My taxes have paid for your EBT cards and grants for school.
Never in my life had any of these the country during your time was in such a surplus because they were spending the money of future generation. Causing homes to be more affordable, better jobs,health care, and overall a better standarding of living.

Yea, I don't think these financially illiterate frickwads understand that when they were in their twenties, there were between ten and fifteen people paying into SS for every recipient; now it's more like 3:1. It's far, far worse in Europe, and I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been more civil unrest.
If they were financially literate, >27% of them would have saved enough money where they wouldn't be worried about making it through retirement.
Seriously, that generation is hopeless.

Please, the oldest Millennials are in their early- or mid-30's. In placing blame for state of the economy, social welfare programs, and everything else fiscally fricked with this country, your generation need only look in the mirror.
You want to address that Social Security and Medicare input/output ratio I mentioned earlier? It's pretty damn ugly for people your age.

You run around this forum talking shite like you know something. You're a wet behind the ears fricking idiot that doesn't have a clue yet.
Coming from a member of the generation that gave us all of the problems that most of you Republicans scream and rant about, that isn't even close to being insulting.
When y'all quit fricking things up, your opinions will finally mean something.

Undergrad degree and a law degree to get a job starting out at 40 to 50k a year in some states, if you're lucky. shite, some of those jobs even require 3 to 5 years experience.

We own the place.
You fricking millennial DemocRATS are worried the gubmint won't be able to carry your asses. You might have to get you hands dirty.

The boomers control every level of government, yet it is the younger generations' fault.
The average age of Congress is late 50s, early 60s.

Never voted for a Democrat in my life.
Just one more thing you are wrong about.

Obviously you should come out of school making $250,000 a year.

Baby Boomers: The Entitled Generation?
I'm so entitled I have to go to bed so I can get up in the morning.
Someone has to pay for those EBT cards and grants.

WTF are you talking about? Most of my peers are not concerned with government handouts. We are trying to scrape enough together to support ourselves once social security fails and is not available for us.
So, you've got a 40 year warning. Better sign off and get to bed.

No, to make this very clear and spell it out in plain English so that your 1970's-era public school-educated hillbilly brain can understand: we are worried about the trillions - that is with a "T", not a "B" - of unfunded liabilities your worthless generation is going to leave the X'ers, our generation, our kids' generation, and our kids' kids generation. Those unfunded liabilities will be a net economic drag on this country for a very long time...all so a bunch of malcontents could live about thirty years of the good life.

No generation that makes a meme comparing a note for a boat and student loans should ever talk about financial literacy.
Some of the issues raised in this thread are extremely complex and are attributable to voters across a wide range of age groups.
Blaming them for delaying retirement to protect their family's financial security due to rising medical costs and increased longevity is asinine. There's not some kind of grand conspiracy among them to keep all these poor millennial kids from finding jobs. Usually, these issues revolve around structural economics that are hard to define, so trying to pretend that there's some collective will among people born between 1945-1960 to frick over the future is absurd.
I'm a millennial and we should be worried a lot more about the future than pointing fingers at the Baby Boomers. There are going to be grand, unprecedented economic problems that we are going to face, and whining enviously about a previous generation like a bunch of petulant bitches is not going to help.
That, and any generation that votes overwhelmingly for Barack Obama should never talk about others being "entitled."

I wouldn't call SS living the good life. At least not for my generation when we retire in 20 years.

So how much money did you think you would make when you signed up for med school?
Surely after you pay your dues you'll be making $250k as a GP right? Is it all that bad for you?
