I really don't get generation-based hatred from the author. My grandfather (who raised me) worked long and hard for decades, first as a marine, later a railroad worker and then finally a manager at AT&T/Bell. He paid far, far more into the social system than he was ever able to take out. I've felt the pain of our increasingly stratified society first hand, but I have little respect for the practice of blaming a generation who have given so much and taken so little in return. Yes medical expenses are spiraling out of control, but that's a structural problem, not a sign of a generation as a whole "screwing young people".
