Hi.. I'm Marty.. and I'll be your waiter for the next 40 years..

Add this to the hundreds of articles written during an election year by someone over 40 about how young people don't vote. Just change the names of the candidates and its been the same pretty much every year.

Its as predictable as older Wake fans bitching about senior fifth or what the students wear to games.

IMO, Henninger's key point wasn't about political disengagement... he was dog-whistling about the dangers of socialistic tendencies using contemporary Europe's labor market as evidence, while predicting a similar future for the US if we continue on our current economic trajectory, and suggesting younger voters (those that are still engaged) consider these facts as they cast their ballots.

You're a bright guy - it's clear you were interrupted before you could make it past the opening paragraphs. Otherwise, I'm not sure how posting commentary informed by the symbiotic relationship between politics and economics generated a response about 'old people' and Wake sports.

To summarize - thanks old people for voting yourself a heaping mound of entitlements that no one is willing to reform and that promises to bankrupt the country and our ability to grow our economy. I think that sentence is more or less in there somewhere.
 
More likely a lot of young "voters" had something better to do, such as using that 90 minutes to re-watch re-runs of "Everybody Loves Raymond" on the TV Land channel.

wait what?
 
Chill out youngsters and hang in there. The week I finished at Wake, in order to dramatize the job situation for young people, the cover of Time magazine featured a guy in a cap and gown pumping gas. Waiting on tables will certainly pay better than what we could look forward to during those days.

That writer really has his finger on the pulse of America's young people.
 
To summarize - thanks Dems for buying votes with a heaping mound of entitlements that no one is willing to reform and that promises to bankrupt the country and our ability to grow our economy. I think that sentence is more or less in there somewhere.

I might state it slightly differently and question why any young person concerned about the future economy of this country would throw their support behind a President who has demonstrated he doesn't give a shit about long term financial stability. Both Dems and Pubs contributed to the current mess. The question is who is going to put on their big boy pants and fix it.

So, how exactly are those 12 million jobs being created out of thin air?

Actually the 12 M number is the current projection the CBO made regardless of who is POTUS. He isn't promising anything other that he won't ruin the economy.
