@Doctor-Phibes in fact Jon posted a few months ago about how it wasn’t happening to the extent it used to, in previous generations.

There seems to be a lot of controversy over Cohn's article.

Most of is centers around which millennials you're talking about - older vs younger.

Are they really becoming more conservative, or are they concerned about the progressive overreach and the burgeoning debt? I don't think you have to be labeled conservative to see these very bad things. More like common sense.

Liberals clearly haven't been responsible for all the debt, by any means. The Bush administrations' military adventures were enormously expensive. Back then we were told that deficits don't matter, which seems to me the opposite of common sense, but apparently Karl Rove is a genius.

And as we all know, it's a lot easier for to advocate cutting debt when you're not in power.

According to data from Nate Cohn with the New York Times, ...

According to Times estimates, ...

It looks like the Townhall article's author just regurgitated something she read in the New York Times.

So ... @Jolly, how much do you trust the New York Times now?

[Jolly]

Very little. How 'bout you?

Just as a general curiousity...How often did you get your ass stomped as a lad?
