The baby boom generation, as well as the "Greatest" generation before them, have saddled our future generations with huge liabilities. Sadly, not every younger Gen X'er, Gen Y'er, Millennial, or Gen Z'er realizes the magnitude of the debt left behind -- and more importantly that it reflects future tax increases or government services that won't be able to be provided. The only hope is that the current generations will have accumulated enough personal assets to pass along to their kids and grandkids to offset some of this deficit.
