A Generational Storm Is Coming

Yesterday, we began our high-minded graduation speech to the Class of 2015.

We explained how the young graduates were not only the most heavily indebted in history, but also the least likely to be able to pay their debts.

Median wages have been going down since these graduates were about five years old… So have economic growth rates.

Today, we continue the speech no one wants us to give…

You are heirs to claptrap, nonsense, bogus theories, and trillions of dollars in debt.

The systems, programs, and institutions your parents set up are mostly worthless scams. Worse, they produce outcomes contrary to their stated goals.

Welfare programs do not help people escape poverty; they keep them mired in it.

Health care programs do not make them healthy; they make them dependent on the drug industry.

Defense industry spending doesn’t make us safer; it funds drones, bumbling interventions, and assassinations… and it creates more foreign enemies.

We end up not only poorer, but also less secure.

    Well that was encouraging... Not! Of course I would not blame the parents and grandparents totally since they only played smartly the game set before them and controlled by the government. True it was short sighted, but most people don't have time or desire in their workaday lives to consider the future ramifications when the politicians are always assuring people they have it covered with their regular dissemination of pablum.

    Is there going to be a part of the speech that will explain to them their role in changing all of this?
    I hate to think gen y is just doomed.
