Our generation is being passed a huge bill
By by Steven Ledvina | Nov. 2, 2012Our generation is getting screwed by the political decisions of the past, generalized apathy and a lack of dedication to real change. Our vote holds the key to the country. This was shown in the 2008 election when the 18-29 vote represented 18 percent of the electorate compared to the 65+ vote, which accounted for only 16 percent. We have a great amount of power with our vote and our voice, but we fail to use it. As a result, our generation faces a combination of issues that—individually—were the landmark issues for many of the generations that preceded us. It is a common sentiment that this election will determine the course of the country for the next century and we are the only voting generation who will see most of that century.
