With those who were born between 1974 and 1995, there was 60% support for Barack Hussein Obama in the 2012 election. This age cohort was "all-in" when it came to global warming, ecology and same-sex marriage, but demonstrated little awareness of bread and butter issues, such as unemployment and effective stimulation of the economy. However, opinion polls are showing that the president's approval rating has fallen appreciably for those between the ages of 18 and 29, who now give him thumbs up at a rate of a mere 45%.
Many of these "millenials" are waking up to the fact that not only will it be difficult for them to secure employment in the near future, but, also, mom and dad won't be around forever to provide room and board. Coupled with that fact of life is the realization that the new health care legislation will hit them of all Americans hardest in the pocket book, with the young and healthy expected to pay a premium that, in most cases, will be at least 20 to 30% more expensive than those who are older and sicker will pay. In effect, the young and healthy will be subsidizing the older and sicker.
For those seeking employment, it is estimated that Obamacare will lead to the demise of at least a million jobs, while around 10 million jobs will be transformed from full-time to part-time employment. But, at least, Obamacare will provide "free" birth control pills for everybody, even for senior citizens! But, it is now dawning on younger voters that Obamacare is going to cost them dearly.
Frequently heard these days is the expression "free money." And that expression is most usually employed with government programs of one sort or another. But, sooner or later, most people wake up to the fact that there is no free money. Even with the Fed pushing currency at record rates into the economy and government presses at full throttle, somebody has to pay. With Obamacare, the millenials are now going to be joining the great American middle class in picking up the tab for the trend for more and more government involvement in more and more areas of our lives.
As of today, November 21, the president's approval rating has fallen to 37%. As this number continues to plunge, so too will the numeric expressions of approval of our failed president coming from younger voters. Welcome to the real world, millenials!
Deo vendice!
God bless Texas, and may the Lone Star State remain forever red!
