Born 1983. Watched my generation fight the longest wars in American history. Served myself as well. Not sure if I'm a millennial or not, but it sure is easy to criticize my generation's struggle after the boomers clawed their way to the top with our money ($20 Trillion of it) and then pulled the ladder up on their way to retirement.

That said, I love camping, don't mind dumping my black tank, and I do all of my own car maintenance; been working on cars since I was 12 years old even though I wear a suit to work now.

Dude you weren't around when I earned my money. Despite the fact I don't have kids 50 percent of my KS tax money went towards education of your generation. I put in many 100 hr weeks during my career scrimped and saved for my retirement always living below my means. If you want to see the problem you better look in the mirror on who you elected that added to that dept. So far I've paid taxes for 40 years and not received one penny back. It's up to people like you and future generations to vote for people who do not add to that dept and try to reduce it, choose wisely!

My generation hasn't elected anybody. Young people don't vote. Old people are who decide elections. Sadly I think we're going the wrong way, continuing to elect people who will borrow and spend away the income of future generations for political gain. As I age, I wonder where the tipping point is of where I should just become selfish and stop caring; we're already 20 trillion in the hole with no end to that in sight and no incentive to fix it. Of course I talk to my friends and neighbors and all of you guys about it and have for at least a decade, but if nobody will listen, the problem will just continue.

I don't have kids either and I continue to pay taxes to support other people's offspring. My state is dead last in education as well.

I believe it's about 23 trillion now. I hope you don't stop caring. I think you are intelligent and get it with your statement (( Sadly I think we're going the wrong way, continuing to elect people who borrow and spend the income of future generations for political gain)). Sadly not enough people realize this. Nothing the government provides is free. To lump all boomers or millennials into a category is wrong.
