GOP Rep. Paul Ryan says, "U.S. borrows 42 cents of each dollar it spends."

UNBELIVABLE. To show just how serious this issue really is, Veronique de Rugy, a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University sheds some light on the growing crisis; "Between 2007 and 2011 alone, the rate has increased 38 cents per dollar!" As a member of the undergraduate college student population, I am curious as to how the hell this growing deficit is going to effect our future well being. How will OUR generation be effected by the past generations' lack of planning and consideration for future generations across the board, the current "lack their of" moral and ethical standards and policies.
