> That seems like a passive-voice way of saying "We could steal from millions of people, pocketing the retirement savings they worked for their entire lives."
For a lot of younger people the view is they promised themselves something unsustainable and expect young people to cover it.
Is it? Is that a thing that has been shown to motivate young voters?
If anything I would believe that younger voters would be in favor of more social safety net. Many would be comfortable with the government outright nationalizing most industries.
More social safety net that goes to everyone, not just the people directly responsible for destroying this one. It's hard to be asked to bail out people who intentionally spiked the ball.
I guess "the children are our future" really was what they meant, we just misinterpreted it.
