Most of the younger kids I run into have the following problems:
-Laziness
-I don't care attitude
-Expect to just get a check instead of earn one
-Thinks they are superior to those older then them
-Have no respect for elders.
In my experience the kids coming out of highschool are sorry. They don't want to work and when they do they just want to cut corners so they can get a paycheck they've barely earned. The reason is because their parents gave them to much growing up.
My guess, Senator, is that you are part of the "Grubber" (WWII)Generation, and a current retiree, living in Florida, since you seem to think that everyone should "respect their elders". But what have their elders done to respect the youth of this country? Simply voted themselves ever larger shares of the economic production of this country in the form of large "entitlement" benefits for which they failed to contribute their fair share. When you consider the change in the governments assets and liabilities as part of the surplus/deficit calculation (as any business must do), the US has not run a surplus since 1929 - largely due do the ever growing and expanding welfare state designed to support those over 60, who, not coincidentally, are the wealthiest people in America.
