> However I think there is a problem in America of young people rejecting what you are saying not because they think it is wrong, but because they don't like it.

Like how they expect Social Security to still be there even if they cut taxes, and how 'Socialized Medicine' is evil but Medicaid is utterly sacrosanct and untouchable, and ...

Oh, wait, that's what old people are on about now.




Rejecting reality because you don't like it certainly is not a problem only seen among young people.

However young people are the people I am talking about here because they are the ones going into, in, or recently graduate from university. Old farts saying "I am going to study Foo, so I am going to, employment rates be damned!" is not exactly a significant problem.
