I wish I could feel sympathy, but I don't. The Reagan generation did this to themselves, and the rest of us have to suffer with them.

And you don't think the political economy of a person's formative years will affect their view of politics?

Lots of "generation" talk is about nostalgia and culture. When it's really economic.
