"The problem isn't a lack of good jobs for young people, the problem is young people are spoiled entitled brats!" is hardly a novel theory. It's never been right in the past in terms of explaining macroeconomic activity and it's unlikely to be true in the future.
Something like 85% of college grads these days are back living with their parents, compared to about 50% before the economic downturn. There was not some day 20 years ago where everyone born after was 30% more likely to be an entitled brat.

There is plenty of good work out there if you narrow your field choices.
There is not enough work (good or bad) for all the people who want to work. The country just doesnt have a massive backlog of job openings.
My own experience the last 6 months really contradicts the notion that kids are turning down jobs. We have hired 7 people, the majority are recent college grads, for a new division that might not exist in a year. These people are told up front that their job may be temporary and if it does continue may not be in Houston. The resumes fly in.

Yes, clearly it was Obamacare in 2010, not a huge global recession in 2008.

same problem different angle. We never should have opened the flood gates of free trade without answering a lot of questions. Even if our economy was smoking there are still ethical/worker rights questions that need answered.
Where would our labor movement have been if there were crushing external forces putting pressure on it to continue to grow inorganically?
genie's out though. All we can do is keep driving.

Right. Because living with mom and dad is so much fun when you're 25 it's totally worth it for that free birth control!

You will never make liberals think welfare is bad. I am a liberal and I talk to them all the time. I have semi regular discourse with people you have heard of, and I can assure you that to them the monied interests are always screwing everyone over so anything you can take back and hand out is a win.

High youth unemployment should be expected in countries that use fiat currency and are heavily in debt
The payment for high debt is laid on the shoulders of future generations to deal with, this debt was started 4 decades ago....
Now those future generations are here, paying the price of the debt created by their parents and grandparents
once their suffering balances the debt on the books .. Things will get better
Sadly we are nowhere close to that point yet

Which has little to do with health care. Especially with young people.
