We wonder if we will be the first generation in American history to leave our children with fewer opportunities and a less prosperous nation than the one we inherited.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we don't empower families to be able to have a quality education, then their children - for the first time in American history, truly the first time - will not have the same economic opportunities.
My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer; less fun and less money.
The United States is no longer first in the world in upward mobility. We can reverse that trend by giving our young children an equal start in life as they begin their journey to fulfill the American Dream.
Every generation has an obligation to leave its children in a better position than it inherited. Our representatives in Washington are breaking faith with that covenant. America must reduce its federal spending and accumulation of debt for the sake of generations to come.
People are very much worried that our kids are not going to inherit the same opportunities that we inherited from our parents.
I'm optimistic that we are actually seeing the opportunity of a generation being created in this.
I think we're the first generation to successfully integrate American society.
Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?
All of us aspire to give our children something more, leave a country to our children that is a better one, a stronger one, with better jobs and growth and opportunity.
It does not have to be that the greatest generation is behind us. It does not have to be that our children will have a lower standard of living. It will be that way if we choose to believe that. I choose not to believe that.
