If the data behind this report is real, I am so very afraid for what is to come with this country. Also I will violently protest to being grouped in with the “millennial” generation…

Excerpts from the transcript:
“Today, the Pew Research Center released a comprehensive study of the millennial generation, the youngest American adults, ages 18 to 29.”

“They have a positive view of government - a more positive view of government, at least, than other generations. And they even supported higher rates, relatively higher rates, such things as affirmative action with preferential treatment for minorities.”

“The millennial generation say older people have better moral values, have better work ethic.”

“Yeah, they're very confident that it's all going to work out in the end. Sixty-eight percent of them say either now or at some time in the future -mostly some time in the future - they will earn enough money to lead the kind of life they want, higher than previous generations even though they have this high level of unemployment.”

I would also like to exclude myself from this group. I'm not sure i have met anyone in the so called millennia generation that shared this sentiment and would like to know how drunk the focus group was.

Don't feel like clicking on the link, but I am curious about sample size of this survey...
