8. You have it all wrong. The millenials have personally witnessed the destruction of the economy

They are not like the hippies who had heard of the great depression but never lived through the great recession as millenials are doing now.
The lessons they are internalizing are the same lessons that made Keynesian economics a dominant force for 80 years and will return it to the prominence it earned.
They will of course get a little less progressive but only after we move the center further left than it has ever been before.
These are bright young people who in spite of declining standards in public education and conservative dominated mass media have found much truth for themselves. I do not know how they know what they do but I am glad they do.
