Is it me, or does it seem like Generation Z is unconcerned
and even has a lack of coherency about America’s financial future? I have the privilege to hang with this
Generation during my Air Force work and I can tell you that all they seem to talk
about is, video games/technology, drinking and the next movie they want to
see. I’ve yet to have conversation or
hear any concern about the dire fiscal state of our Country.
News alert! Our National debt is north of 17 trillion
dollars! Yikes! If you’ve never seen
this clock, you have to check it out. It's quite unique: Debt Clock
I was listening to Dr. Benjamin Carson's speech in 2013 when
the deficit was approximately 16 trillion, and he figured, and I quote “if
you count 1 number per second, which you can’t do because when you get to 1,000
it takes longer than a second, but let’s say you can, how long would it take to count
to 16 trillion? Five hundred and seven
thousand years!"
Well at least the BBC is writing about it and there seems to
be a glimmer of hope! Hey Generation Z,
take a few minutes away from your Facebook, Twitter, snapchat, texting, etc. and
begin to understand what is going on in our economy. Check out this article.
