Samuelson: The Young Are Hurting

Robert Samuelson writes for RealClearPolitics about economic matters. He calls young adults "generation squeezed." Here are two excerpts:

We judge our success by how well our children do. We love them and want them to succeed. (snip) Peering into the unfathomable future, we don't like what we think we see. We're dispatching them into a less secure and less prosperous world.

These parental anxieties, I think, are the presidential campaign's great, unacknowledged issue. Many voters will decide based on a calculus of which candidate would minimize the economic perils for their grown children.
