I think this article ties in well with this article I came across a couple weeks ago.  One big difference between boomers and millennials is that we are the generation of downsizing, not the one that's always been obsessed with the endless pursuit of owning more, controlling more, and spending more than they can afford.  (I do believe that millennials need to stop the fetishization for living in urban areas, which I believe weakens individual autonomy and contributes to the problem of oversocialization... but that's a rant for another day.)  But it's quite a stretch to assume that all these awful Boomer habits will continue into the next generation.  Millennials may be more in debt, but we are already more financially responsible than our generational predecessors.

BK is completely right here.

On another note: if Democrats want to win on idpol, then emphasizing this is a good way to drive more young people to the polls.

If only most members of Congress weren't so old. Sad
