How bright is the future for college-aged Americans? Who paved the way for them?

Here's a thought: When you know that even though you're spending a gawd-awful amount of money (debt) for an education, you're likely to be unable to find work, you'll be saddled in debt for years, and yes, you may have to move back in with your parents.

In other words, you're future well-being is being threatened. And when that happens, then people tend to focus on their own well-being. Even good people who, under different circumstances, may be more caring and giving to others if they were in a more secure position.

Here's another thought: Advocates of cheap labor see the advantage in having in insecure (financially or otherwise) populace. It's by design - as long as they can convince the millennials that it's someone else that's holding them back - or some shortcoming of themselves (lazy, etc.). Anybody to blame but the people actually doing holding back.
