Young Americans of the rising millennial generation are well aware of the economic challenges facing our generation. Rising college tuition is leading to record high student loan debt, about $27,000 on average per person. Unemployment for young people remains in the double digits, about 12%, due to the lasting impact of the Great Recession. But the most threatening number to our American Dream is likely one you have not heard before: $200 trillion. That?s the true size of our national debt and the full tab our generation is set to inherit if nothing changes.
