Not all, but many of the Baby Boomer's offspring have been raised this way. The parents wanting to be their kids' best friend. The parents allowing their kids to ask for and require everything they see. Allowing their kids to feed off of their parents when they're well into adulthood. These kids grow into adults who haven't been taught a thing about personal responsibility.
We all have choices, yes. But it's not easy for some who haven't been exposed to responsibility and it may take a long time for this to be unlearned. I think the current financial situation just may slap some in the face.
