Matthew Kline asks if there is a coming backlash among the well-educated, but unemployed generation of Americans a la that seen in the Middle East?

Writes Kline:

The uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa are a warning for the developed world. Even if an Egyptian-style revolution breaking out in a rich democracy is unthinkable, it is easy to recognize the frustration of a generation that lacks opportunity.

While I doubt we’ll have uprisings in America, it’s likely that if economic conditions don’t improve there may be consequences seen at the ballot box.
