Boomers Broke Us! - Dana Debates with Cardone

Did Boomers break the American Dream, or are Millennials just making excuses?

TEAMS:

🔴 Team Boomer: Gary Cardone (Entrepreneur, 10X) + Dave Weisberger (Wall Street Veteran, Coin Routes Co-Founder)

🔵 Team Millennial: Donish + Dustin Stockton

THE QUESTION:

Are Boomers responsible for creating an economy that makes it nearly impossible for younger generations to build wealth?


TOPICS COVERED:

  1. Why Boomers control 51% of all wealth in America
  2. Medicare payouts: 7.8x more than Boomers ever paid in
  3. Housing, college costs, and the "two nickels" myth
  4. Bitcoin as resistance against the Boomer economy
  5. Why one generation stopped fighting for government reform
  6. The education system collapse and who's to blame
  7. Work ethic: Who's really putting in the hours?
  8. Can the social contract ever be fixed?


THE VERDICT:

Both sides agree the system is broken. The debate: who broke it, and who's going to fix it?

📍 Dana Debates with Cardone airs every Tuesday at 5PM ET
