Actually, they vote in large numbers is some elections...certainly enough to sway the election.

I agree that that they are not solely to blame. Many of their parents did a pretty crappy job as well (but the thread was not about their parents), but the generation we are discussing here are even worse due to that poor parenting and the perception that government is supposed to do everything for them. Waaah....my student loans are too high, someone needs to pay them for me. My salary is too low, the government should make my employer pay more. My health insurance is expensive, it should be subsidized. All these are special little goodies for them, bought with other people's money.

I think maybe the last few years have opened their eyes...and maybe they will grow out of this. I hope so.
