I saw a couple minutes of the Neil Cavuto interview with Keely Mullen.
She expressed the desires of some college students in three demands:
- Free college – a degree without a bill.
- Immediate forgiveness of all student loans for those currently holding them.
- $15 minimum wage for all students working.
Neil asked the question that needed to be asked, “Who then will pay for all of this?”
See, what Keely and her friends fail to understand is that adulthood comes with bills. Parents take care of the financial needs of their children until they become adults. Once mature, people are responsible for their own care, upkeep and improvement.
These poor college students are just trying to delay adulthood. They do not want to be responsible for their own bills.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to their parents. This is the most babied generation of any our nation has seen. There has been as one comedian called it, “the most successful civil rights campaign on behalf of children.” Kids these days are not allowed to grow up and become independent. They are hovered over by mommy and daddy and not allowed to feel pain or struggle.
Is it any wonder they continue to expect someone else to shoulder the burden?
Oh, and while we’re here. Be careful about being too hard on these kids. I’m sure some of the righteously indignant crowd were cheering for the students at Kent State, marching on Washington, spitting on returning Vietnam War vets and burning their bras back in their day.
We just need to help them grow up.
As the old saying goes, “If you aren’t a liberal when you’re young, you don’t have a heart. If you’re not a conservative when you get older, you don’t have a brain.”
