Yeah, many who grew up in the times where the government agencies were somewhat trustworthy and prosperity was not hard to attain, end up denying the reality today.
I have a neighbor who retired who thinks that people cannot afford houses because they didn't work hard enough. I told him that his house went up 10x in price from the 80s to today, but the job he worked only went up 3x. He then said that he worked hard, as if that negates the fact that we have had ridiculous inflation, because he got in the market when the prices matched incomes, not debt. His experience shapes his view of people who are in debt today.
Interesting point that the "side" we take is rooted in childhood. Hadn't thought about that connection before. Makes sense.
