I fall into the upper end of the millennial category. I'm not sure he is all that informed on some subjects.

I will say I do feel similar about political party's and politics that he expressed. Now I am against privatizing social security, but it honisty plays very little in my retirement planing. Mostly because I worry about the retirement age being raised. People living longer isn't always relitave to being able to actually LIVE your life.

I will say one thing he was right about some of us do have more radical ideas.
