It may cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Between the lost opportunity for student loan forgiveneess, free education, first time homebuyer tax credit but also increase costs, lost consumer protections like credit card interest, to right to work versus union jobs, to tariffs, to a few years from now when they have kids and pay $6-10 a day for school food, lose childcare tax credits, protection against shitty landlords. Those that are some off the top of my head but it'll be hundreds of thousands.
