The internet loves a good little Millennials vs Baby Boomers online battle. This Baby Boomer was in for a rude awakening in the comments section after their post about millennial entitlement and free education vs. affordable education. Sometimes the best way to address bullish ignorance is to break out the facts. Their point was very well put, and it doesn't look like angry baby boomer had anything else to say about the matter.

    millennial - Text - |I'm sorry, but the whole "join the military if you want free education" thing is bs.

    millennial - Text - attend college, now it's nearly impossible to pay out of pocket for your average 4 year university, certainly not for the middle class, and even more so for the lower class that right wing conservatives LOVE to blame for being lazy and not going to school and getting education to improve their circumstances. Meanwhile, the average college senior is graduating with over $35,000 in student loan debt with interest rates starting at 4% and climbing steadily from there, into an ec
