How?
The Baby Boomers and "Greatest Generation" shipped all the blue collar manufacturing jobs overseas and then imported slave-wage foreigners to work the few that remained. They oversaw the cost of a college education reach six figures while mandating that every job that paid over $10 an hour require one.
Millennials did none of these things. They're just on the receiving end of the giant economic sh*t sandwich that their parents and grandparents gifted to them.
It's little wonder socialism sounds so appealing.
Excellent rant! Hard to argue with it.

I'm part of the boomers, and I agree that it's worse for the more recent generations of Americans, but my brothers, boomers, were displaced into unemployment & hardship by the same forces you've decried. I knew a few people from my parent's generation that had to work around the same forces to stay afloat.
Your points are well made except for the broad blame. Maybe it's Eisenhower's military-industrial complex, maybe it's the world bankers, maybe it's control of mass media / television. I do agree America's social fabric is being manipulated toward it's extinction, and the manipulators have been at it throughout the "greatest generation's" and baby boomer's times. But just because the manipulators were of those generations shouldn't indict the whole of America's elders.
