My new @townhallcom column weigh in on the great $20 burrito debate…
“The rap is this: the older folks rigged the game and, to the extent they have gotten out of the way (Boomers being accused of selfishly clinging to power, prestige, and position long after their sell-by date), we have left subsequent generations an economic Schiff sandwich. Some of this critique is justified — those kooky kids today are right that they got served up an unprecedented set of obstacles and challenges to success. But us crusties have a point too: if you’re regularly dropping your cash on the proverbial $20 burrito, you’re doing money management wrong.
Basically, things fiscally suck for young people, but things have always fiscally sucked for young people, and the only way through it is through it.”
Young People Got Shafted and Need to Suck It Up https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/08/10/young-people-got-shafted-and-need-to-suck-it-up-n2680923
There’s no argument that that this is a great @townhallcom VIP column…
“The foundation of a democratic republic — where the people allegedly have the final say in their own governance — is the ability to argue. That is how you make public-policy decisions. You present evidence, apply it to the rules and norms, consider precedent, and try to persuade a majority. You cannot have anything like a democracy — I know we are not technically a democracy; go with me — unless people in your society can argue. The alternative to argument is force, and force rather undermines the whole democracy thing.
Here is the problem. We don't have arguments anymore, at least not often enough or in the right way. ”

I’m so tired of these freaking losers, and my @townhallcom column is not kind to them…
“Twenty years ago, people would’ve thought you were crazy if you told them that Karl Rove would be welcomed onto the pages of the regime media to announce that his powerful principles require him to vote for a Democrat who believes you should carve up little boys and girls to conform to the trendy gender delusions of their Munchausen mommies. But in 2026, when he did that, nobody was surprised. Nobody was shocked. After all, betrayal is the old Republican establishment’s brand.”
