I saw a lot of very good, smart, hard working kids who came to study in the USA using their family life savings, only go home because their visa expired before they could get a job.

Typical Gen X mentality..... myopic and misinformed.
and all that resulted in was what? Live with the parents for another year or two?

How would you feel if HALF your pension was wiped out and you were just about to retire?
Don't see how the Y-ers took it harder. They lost nothing other than an opportunity to get a cushy job. Boomers lost half their life savings.
