Hurrah For The Next Generation! 

The snapshot of the US Debt Clock above is the bad news.  The good news is that increasing numbers of our younger voters have recognized that THEY will be the people expected to pay this back. In a stunt that went mostly unnoticed by the national media might, students in March and early April protested the country's $14 trillion debt by displaying 40-foot-long "National Debt Clocks" on their campuses.  The protest took place at more than 75 colleges and was organized by Young Americans for Liberty.  "There is a growing youth movement in this country very concerned about our fiscal future, and we are proud to lead the way," said Jeff Frazee, YAL's executive director.  You can read more at the Daily Caller.

Furthermore, the College Republican National Committee in cooperation with Let Freedom Ring, rolled out the website "WheresYourPlan.com". The site asks youth to challenge President Barack Obama to present a plan to save Medicare, which he has so far failed to do.  Having no plan, however, has not stopped the Democrats from attacking the plan that Republican House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan has introduced. Let Freedom Ring's executive director Alex Cortes, age 22, said his generation has "the greatest stake in the Medicare reform debate and so far only the House Republicans have presented a serious plan to restore the program's solvency."  On their newly launched website, the conservative groups ask America's youth to sign onto a letter to Obama.

The letter reads in part, "Medicare trustees report it will be bankrupt in 13 years.  We want Medicare for our generation if we're going to be forced to pay into the program. You don't have a plan to make it solvent. The GOP does."
