#1 This has been going on for a very long time, in particular the money wasted on what has, for many young people, been a phony education with little authentic value.

Most of the college degrees given over the past 30 or so years have been ridiculous things a chimp could get, particularly in the arts and humanities and social "sciences". All that "education" has been a tremendous waste of resources that could have been better directed to provide a more productive society. This will not end well.

The "stealing form the old" part has been going on for a while, too. Most estimates of the actual size of public retirement obligations run from 80-100 trillion, which is probably unfundable absent future generations paying three-quarters of their income in taxes so that people in their mid-sixties who were employed by various levels of government can have a fifteen year cushy retirement. That will not end well.

The regulatory leviathan (and it's evil sister and parasite, the "human resources" industry) makes employing people a paperwork nightmare, an ever-increasing financial liability and cost center instead of value added, and drives the number of employees that any given business will hire down. This will also not end well.

I believe I know whom we have to thank for this progressive, egalitarian cock-up. I was reminded of their handiwork (and model) last week when I visited the Atlanta VA.

It isn't just the money. It's also the time and the energy. Think of what could be accomplished with all that youthful energy and time if it wasn't wasted on a "liberal" education.
