As someone apart of the Millennial Generation, I feel that the title above really represents our fate. We have little to no social safety net, deeply indebted, and face a tax burden and services shortage that will be draconian. Finally, we have an elder care crisis looming on the horizon. The future seems bleak, but apathy is not the solution. We have to rise up and become like our grandparents: The Greatest Generation.
Our parents have squandered our wealth but probably through no fault of their own. I think this because in our era, the era of big data, we have information at our fingertips. We can look up budgets and generate algorithms and see line by line where our money is being spent. This is where we will have the most cost savings. Efficiencies in government programs because of information are being identified but we have to make sure that policies reflect the data.
