Various letters have responded to Stephen Pruchnicki’s July 25 letter "Don't let baby boomers shape our nation's future." I am a baby boomer, but I found unfair Robert A. Hanson’s Tuesday letter critical of the millennials as feeling “entitled to anything they want” because “they complain about college debt and complain they want better jobs and a better economy.”

Millennials have every right to complain about college debt, i.e. the costs of getting an education. Tuition costs have skyrocketed, making it necessary for many students to take out loans in amounts I never would have imagined when I was a student.

They have a right to complain about the lack of “good” jobs, as defined by previous standards, the standards that my generation enjoyed. Stability in the workplace seems to have become a thing of the past. Pensions too seem to have disappeared.

While the economy might seem fine to some, it’s not so great to a first-time homebuyer saddled with student debt and the need to save for retirement.

So what I would suggest is a little inter-generational sensitivity here. And yes, vote!
