This is such a ridiculous and oversimplified argument. They believe it’s the government’s job to fight for them...to level the playing field—which, well, it is their job. And the government has been failing in that job for a long long time. The millennials understand that our current (and by current, I mean for decades) government works for lobbyists and corporations, and they’re getting pissed, and they’re starting to act on that anger. The funny thing is, the only thing holding back a democratic/socialist tidal wave here presently is the Boomers (who know the same shite as millennials but benefit from it and thus vote Right). But the Boomers are getting older and on the way out, so a reckoning is coming.
So shake your fists and gnash your teeth at the so-called entitled, lazy, millennials, for wanting stuff like free college (which for some reason you guys forgot was a thing, like, 40 years ago) and basic healthcare (the horror! What’s next? Paid vacation? 40-hour work weeks??) but they’re tomorrow’s (and today’s) voters, and it’s their time soon.
So buckle up. The days of people believing in the bullshite patently false trickle-down economics and bootstrapping fairy tales is over. The internet fricked that up for you. Get new schtick or get on board.

There are more than enough kids in the 12-20 age that have a completely opposite worldview than what you have embraced that I am not to concerned with your generation of crybabies. You are to stupid to comprehend that a free college education will devalue a college degree to the point that it will be the equivalent of having a HS diploma today. There won’t be more jobs available to place all of these people who get a “free college” degree.
The younger age bracket (under 20) is far less socialist leaning than your worthless generation. Your time is right now. This is your high water mark. And your ideas are being exposed and rejected even with a complicit media propaganda machine pushing your agenda. You are to much of a pussy to make your own future. You are to intellectually weak to find your own way to prosperity. You are to socially inept to network or socialize yourself into a sound future. You are to lazy and entitled to perform a job that you consider beneath you to gain experience and earn respect. You are to impatient because you grew up in an age of instant gratification and were never taught by others or self taught patience.
You are a breed of people who were pampered and allowed to believe that you can have anything you want without ringing the bell every morning for years and years to build your personal financial security. Your breed is weak and it is dying. The hill has been crested and you are on the downhill run to obscurity. The current generation and Gen X will take care of your segment of the population until you all fade away. Just be content with that.

No it's not their job. Secondly, they're incapable of it even if it was their job. They cannot replace kids growing up without parents or replace bad parenting with good parenting. That's a cultural/familial issue that needs to be addressed. Parenting is the #1 factor by an astronomical margin when it comes to where their kids end up in life. Something that truly does need to be addressed is the horrible school system. The United States is SO far behind some of the other developed countries when it comes to placing an emphasis on getting a great education. A large chunk of today's society mocks the nerds in the classroom who get good grades. Little do they know that it's those kids who will go on to have stable paying jobs in the future.

How is college going to be valuable if it simply becomes an extension of high school with everyone attending?
Health insurance is not a right. And I'll add, Emergency Rooms are full of homeless patients and patients without insurance that go there to receive care and they aren't turned away.
So buckle up. The days of people believing in the bull shite patently false trickle-down economics and bootstrapping fairy tales is over. The internet fricked that up for you. Get new schtick or get on board.
Serious question, how old are you and tell me about your work experience? This was a really childish rant.

College wasn't "free" - ever, you are the ones that want to live in a resort for 4-5 years, get free public transportation and have someone hold your hand and help you make decisions. Where is the money for your generation's luxury accommodations supposed to come from?

It's hilarious that so many people on the right believe in the swamp/deep state and also in the holy grail of trickle-down that those same swampers support
Giving power to consumers forces business to compete for customers. Giving power to the wealthy/employer-class forces consumers to compete.

I’m a millennial (born in 87) and this is my opinion. It’s not the governments job to ensure equal outcomes. It’s to provide for equal opportunity. You want to provide equal opportunity how about remove affirmative action which judges someone SOLEY on the color of someone’s skin.
You want equal opportunity how about you quit subsidizing bad decisions like children out of wedlock and children before you’re financially stable.
You want equal opportunity? Quit dismissing any and all consequences for poor decision making.
And it’s not the government’s job to teach you how to set yourself up in life. That’s your family’s, community’s, or churches job.
It’s the federal governments job to ensure infrastructure is intact to best facilitate commerce between states, protect our borders from other sovereign nations and invaders, and to negotiate international trade deals. THATS IT

Free college is an incredibly stupid idea.
There are already too many stupid people getting free money for college who will simply drop out in a year.
College has become an excuse to avoid work for millions of children.
If you want a college degree to actually MEAN something, it should be harder to get in, not easier.
And until we get rid of useless courses such as "Famous Left Handed Lesbian Feminist Authors of the 18th Century", most of us would rather NOT burn our money with little or no chance of real return on investment.

Boomer here and college has never been free. Cheaper maybe, but government intervention has driven the cost of college skyward.

Really? I went to college 40 years ago and it wasn't free. It was much cheaper, but we can think big Gov (The Federal Department of Education) for the massive increase in costs.
