OK, class, your task this morning is to read this highly intellectual load of drivel and then attempt to avoid regurgitation of breakfast. There are some bad assumptions involved and a "research" that should be quickly recognized as an agenda piece that is a no-brainer for conclusion even before you collect any data.
Wealth Gap Greater Than Ever
Ain't that a "duh!" for you?
Someone who has worked a lifetime and been independent has amassed more wealth than someone who went into debt getting a worthless degree, is unemployed and has spawned four or five children without benefit of matrimony. Who woulda thunk it?
Why should you even compare someone at the start of a career with someone at the end? Why would you expect that there should be some equality? Why would you not relate that outcome to the emergence of the American welfare state and the culture of governmental dependence?

Back when you and I were starting our careers in the military, we weren't that far removed from WWII. I learned about how to get things done on the farm from grandparents and parents who had gone through the depression. You became very innovative at times to do it. That carried over into my military career. I often heard about ways not to get things done, but I always found ways to make stupid regulations work for me. Some how kids today don't seem to be exposed to that mentality and expect everything now with out figuring out how to do it. Degrees in Basket weaving are fine, but the market is full of degrees that don't do anything except provide a party life for four years. I agree with what you saying. Sad state of affairs we have gotten our selves into.
