Per the article:
"Francis' skepticism of free markets and concern about the lack of ethics in finance were shared by his predecessor, Benedict XVI. But Francis' unassuming style and rejection of the traditional trappings of office lend his words particular weight."
""A people that cares neither for its youth nor for its older people has no future," the pope said. "Young people take society into the future, while the older generation gives society its memory, its wisdom.""
"Nearly 6 million people under the age of 25 are without work in the European Union, with jobless rates among the young at close to 60 percent in Spain and Greece."
The U.S. unemployment is also highest in the under 25 age group.
My question (besides how to turn this around) is what makes people, the Pope included, that things get that much better when theses people reach the magical age of 26?
