Revisiting "Young People and the Road Ahead"

How do you prepare a generation for some tough roads ahead? How do you educate this coming of age generation? I believe you do this by creating an informing atmosphere that promotes the tools to understand our government. I keep hearing that we are the voice and this is true but if we are the voice why are we so clueless on what to say and do for the success of this country? One day the people in those congress seats will be on there way to a retirement get away with the country in their rear view mirrors not caring what will become of us and this place we call home. Is it wrong of me to want better for my country? I find it very disturbing that my generation and the gyrations to come will be in a hole to deep to have any hope of return. How can we bounce back from the choices that have caused our country some problems.We don't have jobs its becoming harder and harder to pay for college to get a degree to even get the jobs. Why are their so millions of Americans with out jobs and why hasn't anyone felt a sense of urgency to fix the matter. It just seems like some of us will have and sorry for those who do not. Is this what the "New America" will be? Is this the type of structure the four fathers of America had in mind? Maybe I am just to naive to think that if someone cared enough about the people they are suppose to be taking care of maybe just maybe we wouldn't have government shutdowns , high rates of people without jobs and maybe just maybe it wouldn't cost you your whole life to get a degree that will benefit yourself and the country. Wake up young people this is our country too!
