Do today's kids realize that the government is spending their future livelyhood and that they will have to pay for it?

No they don't in my opinion, as this "buy now,pay later" philosophy is like a house of cards waiting to tumble down.  The government is borrowing heavily and pumping money back into the economy in an attempt to offset the recession.  This means higher interest rates, inflation, house foreclosures and unemployment rates.  The credit card culture keeps the money-go-round spinning crazily while the kids of today are living for what they want, not what they need.  Marketing loans, overdrafts and living beyond one's means seems endemic in youth culture with no thought for the future or potential crisis.  The small print is never looked at and the piper will still have to be paid at some point in the future, irrespective of young people's financial situations.

"too busy having fun......" Oblivious??? Unaware??? Not mature enough to be aware of possible future happenings???? Too busy and self centered allowing mom and dad to think and do things for them??? Too busy with their games and growing up???

Yes , exactly that , they don't care about their future they think its going to come easy for them , they are selfish , and you know most kids these days , they are rude and ungreatful for what they have.

These kids and probably up to 25, have no concept of this and probably dont care as they were raised so spoiled and having everything given to them

Besides this younger generation has no idea that everything comes at a price that has to be paid sooner or later
