Economic Policy---- I don't have a ton of faith in Millennials. Overall, it appears, just like the Baby Boomers earlier, that they want to have their cake an eat it too....
They don't want to pay for national medical insurance, but expect to have comprehensive medical coverage. They are generally supportive of Free Trade and shop at Wal-Mart on a regular basis because of the "cheap prices", while meanwhile friends and family members have and are losing jobs, as a direct result of unfair foreign competition that is killing the manufacturing sector.
Maybe I'm missing something, but at this point it appears that overall the Millennial Generation is extremely lacking in any type of comprehensive political paradigm that is easily translatable into a true Progressive Democratic Party Coalition....
Sure, maybe I sound a bit harsh, especially on a Forum overwhelmingly dominated by Millennials (Although most of y'all are totally awesome and political Geeks that make me wish I had the ability to go back to Grad school!).
Didn't millennials just break large for the socialist Jew from Vermont promising them single payer healthcare and rail against free trade agreements? I think you might be letting your age color your views here. I think Millennials are gonna be much more supportive progressive economic policies just based on their current economic situation. We're the least entrepreneurial generation in decades, we have less savings and more debt than past generations, our average earnings are much lower. All of this is despite the fact that we're the most educated generation in history. We're the group who felt the brunt of the great recession. I feel like we deserve a little more credit than this.
