The problem is not that the U.S. economy won't be able to take care of its citizens - it is that taking away benefits, creating intergenerational warfare, and scapegoating will make for very difficult and bad politics. This is a tragedy that we can see coming. Early action would be relatively painless.

Jamie Dimon

Generational thinking has always been reductive and condescending.

Adam Conover

When I go to my live shows it's often a multigenerational audience, a family bonding experience.

Al Yankovic

I think generationally, as human progress does its thing, we are constantly impressed by the upcoming generation.

Alyson Stoner

I definitely don't think of myself as someone identified by region. It's too far-flung a region, for starters, and southern New Mexico is very isolated. I wouldn't think of my identity as generational, either, but maybe as more stylistic, in the school of realism and domestic issues.

Antonya Nelson

We get divided generationally and in other ways - libertarians versus more traditional social conservatives, for example - and we've got to provide some flexibility there. But we don't need to have quite so many litmus tests. We need to have our big picture focused on economic issues.

Asa Hutchinson

Our pandering politicians compete to add names to the dependency of entitlement rolls instead of evaluating the success of these programs by how many people leave the dole and are restored to an independence. And these bulging entitlements are saddling our offspring with unsustainable generational debt.

Ben Sasse

I think the most pressing issue in our community is probably a generational divide.

Bernice King

Blockchain technology represents a generational opportunity to mutualize database infrastructure across entities within financial services. What that translates into is an enormous cost-saving, risk-reducing, and capital-enhancing opportunity.

Blythe Masters

We got a lot of politicians that will kiss babies, cut ribbons, do whatever it takes to be popular. That's not why I ran for office. I ran for office to make the generational changes in Louisiana.

Bobby Jindal

What I've been surprised by is not how different people are, but how similar they are. There are certain types of Airbnb people, and they are in every city in the world - it's just that in some cultures, there is more of a generational divide.

Brian Chesky

One of the things we want to do is find ways, first, to impress these parents how important it is to have children in a situation where they can respond to them and, second, to bring intergenerational relationships into play.

C. Everett Koop

I don't feel the need to prove myself by writing the next generational novel.

Camilla Lackberg

There's this pressure to perform in your twenties - I think it comes from this whole generational foreshadowing that presumes there will be a whole other layer of things to worry about in your thirties.

Caroline Ghosn

Generational disinterest in education means that too many young children lack the push from their parents in early years which can make the difference between success and failure in schools.

Chris Grayling

Like many people, I had the powerful experience of being raised on Dr. Seuss, then becoming a parent and revisiting him with my own children. That multigenerational experience around his work is very meaningful.

Chris Meledandri

The promise of Social Security was reflected in President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's inter-generational compact that rewards hard work and provides retirement security.

Christine Pelosi

Catch-22's admirers cross boundaries - ideological, generational, geographical.

Christopher Buckley

I think an artist's true worth comes through an inter-generational thing - when you go beyond your own time, and start influencing people in a greater way than just what surrounds you.

Daryl Hall

My fan base is really expanding into an inter-generational thing - it's what every artist probably hopes for.

Daryl Hall

What prevailed was that it was a family story, so it didn't matter what the color. It was also the perfect subject matter for a miniseries: A best-selling book, a generational story, a social problem - they all made 'Roots' what a miniseries should be.
