Conservative Movement

It would not surprise me if a lot of young smart people rebel against Obama's economic policies.

It is natural for folks - particularly men - to become more conservative the older they get. With the unemployment as bad as it is now, I imagine a speeding up of this process, particularly amongst recent college grads who can't get work. I don't know that they will directly connect Obama's economic policies with their "worse-off" state or even recognize their state as being "worse-off" than earlier sets of graduates. In any case, what will become more evident is the lack of connection between liberal policies and goals of government and the business of making money and supporting families. Entitlement and redistribution programs might be all very well and good, but someone needs to pay for it. Who will it be?
