I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

I agree, but think that many people are just like me, and can be easily persuaded by those in their environment. I have a friend who once quipped to me about how the liberal mindset works great in college, but once you enter the real world, fiscal conservatism makes a very strong case for itself. College is okay, but I think students should try and spend as little time there as possible.

"I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."

That's not new, or confined to millennials. My dad's three sisters were what he referred to as professional students. That was the 60's through the 80's, until my grandfather cut them off and told them to get jobs. It is far easier to avoid responsibility on someone else's dime. My old man paid his own way, and made me do the same. I am very glad he did too.
