I know this sounds terribly cynical but I'm very, very curious to see how the "Give us all our entitlements!" generation of elderly folks are going to convince the middle-aged and younger working class to support their desires and expectations when, practically speaking, that's the same generation who collectively broke the system. My sense is that domestic issues - healthcare, housing, and entitlements - are going to be a lot more pressing subjects than global affairs within 10 years. It's a little "out of sight out of mind" right now, but it will hit all political affiliated middle and younger aged cohorts right in the paycheck...
I could be wrong, but the ridiculous income inequality overlaid with generational power broking for the past 20-30 years could really set off another "great awakening" type of social upheaval. 70 million Baby Boomers. 70 million Millenials. 30 million Gen-X in the middle to take sides.
